Answer 1

Prank calls are not illegal!!!! the only way they are is if you threaten the person u are calling. A prank call could be to someone close or at random...always fun!

Answer 2

prank callers are people with nothing better to do with their time but call numbers at random and annoying others with their obscenities I think they should get a life!

Answer 3

a prank call is just a call that you make to either someone random or someone close to you where you joke around. its just a big joke. you "prank" or joke someone and do something funny or stupid when you call them. thats all that it is.. and its not illegal.. i dont have a link but it is only harmful and gets the police involved when you do something freaky again and again and then the police will be called if the person recieving the prank decides to call and then police will call the pranker and warn them to stop... but the cops wont tell u who the person was they cannot give that info out but i know this because it happened to my mom once and we called the cops and they did this.

Answer 4

A "prank" call is NOT illegal.
