A friend of mine wants to prank call a suicide hotline?

Question

can they trace his call if he uses a cell phone and uses *67 to block his number pls answer

Answer 1

That is just sick!  I wouldn't do it.

Answer 2

These wonderful volunteers have better things to do than answer crank calls.  Tell your friend to grow up!!

Answer 3

Dont think so. My friend pranked kids help line and they  traced it back to him- even using *67. Its all pretty wrong though

Answer 4

Yeah, well you must have some really sick friends. I'm sure all of the people who are genuinely suicidal will feel much better knowing that some scum could be stopping them from getting through when they genuinely need help. Get your friend to try another sort of prank like throwing himself under a bus or a train.

Answer 5

Don't tie up those lines in case someone really is trying to call in. That's just not right. Nothing funny about it at all. Try something else please.

Answer 6

Yes of course they can. Don't be dumb, whatshername's right, prank call one of your friends.

Answer 7

that's really stupid..try prank IMing one of your friends that you're suicidal

Answer 8

DONT DO IT!!! yes they can, me and my friend did that even with *67, they called back, but it was the jewelry hotline, not suicide, they even said if they catch us again, they will have us put in juve!!!! tell your friend not to do it

Answer 9

I know it's april fools day, but my goodness, I dont think those people at that hotline have a sense of humor

Answer 10

That is one of the most stupid, insensitive, selfish, mean-hearted, thoughtless and immature thing anyone could do.  I hope you have the maturity and intelligence to stop your friend.  How rude!  And people wonder why teens have such a bad rep!  Shame on you and shame on you double if you're adults!

Answer 11

oh yeah sure 'a friend of mine'. your pathetic

Answer 12

That's horrible.

Answer 13

Oh, come on. That's pretty stupid. Maybe he should get a hobby or find something better to do with his time so the lines can be clear for someone who may really need it. It's very possible they can trace it.
