Telephone Prank Calls
Telephone prank calls provide tremendous amount of enjoyment for those pranksters out there that know how to do it right. This may be you. Or you just may be starting out in your prank call career and you might need some guidance. Luckily, you have come to the right place.
I talked to a good buddy yesterday who told me he’s been on an incredible run of prank calls of late. Here’s the technique he was using for making his telephone prank calls:
Late Night Calls to Non-Restaurants
He selected businesses to call on the telephone that were open after midnight that were not restaurants. Restaurants don’t make good targets for prank calls because they are simply too huslte-bustle to get anyone to talk on the phone for more than a minute or so. So he turned his attention to hotels, bail bondsmen, all night retailers, and porn shops. He told me the porn shops made the best target because they were open yet extremely slow at the late hour.
Made Telephone Prank Calls from his Home Phone
My friend used his home phone and with some friends called the above places. He placed his phone on speakerphone so that his friends could hear the hilarity and used *67 to block his private information. (I advised him that this would suffice but that there were better ways to prank call which I’ll get into in a minute.)
Used Internet Soundboards
He didn’t want to use his own voice so he did a search for internet soundboards which are collections, in the voice of a particular celebrity, of various phrases and sayings. These phrases are usually pulled from an actor or comedian’s movies and can be used to conduct an entire phone call once you get the handle of it.
Among the most popular celebrity soundboards are those of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Joe Pesci, and Tom Cruise. But there are many, many more. Each soundboard has about 30-100 phrases which can be called on with the touch of a mouse.
(TIP: If you do call a restaurant, make sure to use the Jack Black soundboard which is hilarious for calling restaurants.)
Schwarzenegger is probably my favorite. It is absolutely classic and good for beginners who are just getting the hang of telephone prank calls.
Used the Soundboards to Prank
With his friends listening, he used the soundboards to bust some hilarious prank calls on unsuspecting businesses. He told me that a couple of times, people actually caught on to the fact that they were being prank called but he told me it just made it more funny.
He told me that he had a ton of fun making these telephone prank calls, spending over an hour busting hilarity on unsuspecting porn shop employees. Sounded like a look fun, I must confess.
However, he told me that there were a couple of things he needed improvement on. He told me that he wanted to do two things that he wasn’t sure how to do. First, he wanted to be able to record the calls, because some of them were so funny that he wanted to hear them again and again, but he was not sure how to do that. And, he wanted to know if there was a better way to conceal his number so that he could call people he knew without PRIVATE appearing on the caller ID.
Luckily, I had a simple answer to both questions. There is a company, called 123Spoof., that gives you the opportunity to accomplish both of those things for a very tiny fee. What 123Spoof does is allows you to record all of your telephone prank calls so that if they work out well you can put them on a website or CD or even email them to friends.
123Spoof. also allows you to make telephone prank calls from your home phone, BUT have your number appear on a target’s caller ID as whatever number you specify. For instance, you can call your buddy Jack and have your number appear on his caller ID as a movie theatre, mutual friend, or cab company. You can have any other business or person appear on the caller ID of a target. This is a great feature.
With this information in hand he told me was going to sign up at 123Spoof.. The next time I hear from him, I expect to have some more great telephone prank call stories.
