Question

is it illegal to give out someones phone number so they get prank called?

Answer 1

it is NOT illegal to just give out someone's phone number...

BUT if you have knowledge of nefarious purposes that the person receiving the number is going to use it for, then yes, you are guilty by association, and an accomplice.

if they are harmless pranks, most likely not much will come of it, but if the calls become harassment, or threatening then guaranteed that someone will be looking for you....

Answer 2

Yes- It's illegal.

It falls under the laws against harassment (harassing someone, ie; disturbing their peace).

It's also illegal to give someone's phone number out without their permission!

Answer 3

yes!!

and law enforcements are really getting after ppl now...so don't do it!!

its not illegal to give out the number, but it could become illegal if that person uses the number to harass ppl....
