No. But I'd gladly play a prank on any solicitors that call ME! There's this funny book with 50 ways to trick them. Here are my favorites:
1. DROP THE PHONE DRILL: Try and drop the phone as many times as you can "accidently" while you are talking to them. The more times you can drop it, the more points you get!
2. TEENAGER: As soon as you answer the phone, say "who is this?" then scream "MMOOOOMMMM!" as loud as you can and leave the phone until they hang up.
3. WAIT A MINUTE: Answer the phone, then make excuses to keep leaving it. Say, "I need to talk to my husband/wife, hang on a second." then a minute later, come back and say "So what company were you from?" Leave for 30 seconds. Then say, "How much does this cost?" after they answer say, "I need to get my credit card." Then leave the phone and see how long it takes before they hang up, if they haven't already.
4. MEMORY LOSS: Pretend you always stray from the situtation at hand. For example, when the solictor calles, he says: "Hi, I'm Brian from Saftey System". You say, "What's 'Safety System'?" He says, "It's like an alarm system. It protects your home from theft. We even have a specialized system just for your garage." Here's where it gets fun, but you have to think on your feet! You say: "Garage? That's where my husband parks the car!" And so on...try and stray from the facts as much as possible, but work off of what the solicitor tells you.
5. HEARING PROBLEMS: Have trouble hearing what they tell you. For example, if they say "We are marketing auto insurance" you could say, "You made a furnace?" You know, give them a hard time!

I get those stupid people calling me all the time!! Sometimes I pretend I have run out of toilet paper and begin to tell them all about it. Or I'll pretend I'm driving in the call while talking to them and reading the paper. My favorite is as soon as I pick up the phone I yell "Johnny put the f***ing knife down now!!" and then say hello, they have already hung up. HEHEHE
I am a mean person, I know.

I've prank called the water bottle company to ask why they put nutrition labels on the backs of water bottles and the person got all angry at me and hung up

Sometimes, when it's higly likely that's it's a telemarketer calling, I answer the phone with "Receiving telemetry" in an Indian accent.
Or i start asking them a million questions, personal stuff like "So, how many sales have you made today?" "when did you last go to the toilet?" "Do you sing in the shower?"

Do I ever? I try to prank recruit them for other companies. Being on the other end, they tend to be very appreciative customers.

No, but whenever one calls the house my husband starts talking to them like a telemarketer and offers them long distance and satellite TV, its hilarious!

No actually i got a call and i asked for his home number and he said that they were not allowed to give it out...so i said...i guess you don't like strangers calling you at home either huh?....he was quite flustered.

No but...
When they called and asked for me, I said, "Just a moment"... then put the phone down and left it there.

Sometimes when they would call I would say "no speaka english" over and over. They hung up after that.
