Is prank phone calling illegal? Follow
It can be tempting to make prank calls when you’re bored or feeling mischievous but the harmless fun can cross into illegal territory depending on what you say and whom you might be calling.
Some regions have laws that might be applicable to prank calling, including if you harass or threaten someone—even in a joking way. Ditto if you’re tying up emergency lines that might affect someone who is truly in need of help.
Remember that something you might consider a lighthearted prank might not be interpreted the same way by the recipient. If you are repeatedly prank calling someone and if your language is intimidating or disruptive, you could end up with a fine or even criminal charges.
