If what you are saying is true and you didn't threaten them or their business no. Since all those places you called are professional business's they probably are assuming you dialed the wrong number. However I would suggest you stop since when you get older and get a real career those phone calls are going to irritate the heck out of you. So play nice.

No, however prank calls or harassment calls are against the law only if you and your friend intentionally, and knowingly harassed a company business...etc. repeatedly, and not just for one call. I still get repeated prank calls from an ex-girlfriend, and the police can't do anything. I tried to file police report for harassment and the officer did nothing. So don't worry...ENJOY LIFE.

In my own state the law states:
HARASSING COMMUNICATIONS.
A person commits the crime of harassing communications if, with intent to harass or alarm another person, he or she does any of the following:
a. Communicates with a person, anonymously or otherwise, by telephone, telegraph, mail, or any other form of written or electronic communication, in a manner likely to harass or cause alarm.
b. Makes a telephone call, whether or not a conversation ensues, with no purpose of legitimate communication.
c. Telephones another person and addresses to or about such other person any lewd or obscene words or language.
Nothing in this section shall apply to legitimate business telephone communications.
(2) Harassing communications is a Class C misdemeanor.

well you aren't likely to be in trouble if you only called each place once or twice. But seriously find something better to do. That's really lame.

No. It's stupid, but no ones going to come to your house and arrest you. Next time block your number though. They're not gonna get you in trouble for that

yes you can get in trouble
but not much trouble
and the police in your area probably have bigger thing to worry about
rather then 2 kids prank calling.
