Call a friend and pretend to be from a trivia-based game show. Say that your friend has been nominated by his workplace for being the smartest person in (name your city here). The show would like him to participate next season and compete against other brilliant contestants for a one million dollar prize. All your friend has to do is answer three tough questions to prove he's smart enough for the show. Make the first two questions really easy (what is a shape with no sides). Then, just when your friend thinks he's really smart, ask the third question. Make it something along the lines of "how do you feel knowing that you just got pranked?"

Call someone and start meowing as soon as they pick up. Hang up and call again 5 minutes later. Tell the person you've lost your cat and you're wondering if the person has any idea what happened to it.

My VERY Italian best friend's mom called when I had left this stupid message on my machine:

Machine: Hello?

BFF Mom: Yeah, I wanna tell ya abou...
Machine: Hello!?!

BFF Mom: (louder) YEAH! I just wanna say...
Machine: I'm so sorry, I can't hear you! Speak up!

BFF Mom: DAMMIT! Can't you hear me for Christ sake!?!
Machine: Why are you yelling? It's just an answering machine! Please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

BEEP.....

BFF Mom: I swear to god you little protestant bitch, I will poison the food you eat from my house. P.S. call me back. There's a sale at K-mart.

Call parents of teenagers and pretend to be Planned Parenthood responding with the test results. If you want to lightly prank the parents, tell them the test came back negative. But if you want to give the parents a full-on heart attack, tell them that their wonderful daughter is having triplets.

Call a friend and get ready to speak quickly. Confirm that your friend lives at (insert address here) Before he can get a word in, go off on a spiel telling him the 25 pizzas he ordered are on their way. Unfortunately his credit card didn't go through and he'll have to pay in cash. He should have the $250 ready by the time the delivery person arrives. Hang up before your friend gets a chance to tell you that you've got the wrong person.

Pretend to work for the phone company by calling your friend and giving yourself some ridiculous title. Try out Representative for Land-Line Phone Engineering Issues and Concerns. Tell your friend that some lines have gone down in their neighborhood and you have to test out their line. Have them repeat some silly phrases after you to make sure that their phone works. See how weird the phrases can get before your friend catches on.

Target a friend who gets easily confused and get her with this prank call. Call her up and pause after she asks who it is. Say that your friend is the one who called you, not the other way around. When your friend says that you called her, get angry. Insist that your friend called you. When she insists it's the other way around, tell her that prank calling others is rude.

This isn't necessarily a prank call, but it still involves a phone. Leave a prank outgoing voicemail message that tricks people into thinking that you are there. Make your outgoing message "hello (pause) hello, is anyone there? Speak up please. I can't hear you." The person calling you will try and talk louder to you because he'll think it's really you on the phone.

Get your best radio announcer voice ready and call up your friend that thinks she has the best singing voice in the world. Tell her she's live on the radio with DJ Stupidname. She's been nominated by friends to be on American Idol. The local radio station wants to hear if the rumors are true that her voice is winner worthy. Tell her to sing a few verses from her favorite song.

Surprise a celebrity-obsessed friend by calling and pretending to be a celebrity looking for their famous spouse. Try calling and asking if Angelina is there. When the person says that Angelina is not there, say that it's Brad calling to tell her that her agent wants to talk to her after her filming is done for the day. Your friend will probably be speechless as she puts it all together. Hang up before you blow your cover.

Create some drama in someone's life by calling a friend and "breaking-up" with her. Use your best crying voice and keep using the wrong name as you break-up with someone. Your friend will assume you got the wrong number. Every time your friend tries to tell you that you have the wrong person, say something like "Stop interrupting me Jason, this is what you always do." Your friend will be forced to sit there and listen while you rant.

Call a friend and tell him that you're from the phone company. The company is testing all the lines in the area by dialing them once every five minutes for an hour. Instruct your friend not to pick up because it will ruin the test. Then call his house every five minutes for the next hour. Your friend will go crazy sitting at home listening to the phone ring every five minutes.

Call a busy parent up and tell them you're from Children R Us, America's only company dedicated to buying, selling, and trading children. Before he can hang up, say a friend thought he might be interested in selling (his child's name here). The parent will now be listening because you know the kid's name. Make sure just to babble on about the child-selling business, such as you do weekday pick-ups, and in lieu of money the parents can receive a new child free of charge.

If you're bored on a weekend night, try out this prank call. Call a bunch of animal breeders, construction equipment places, portapotty rentals (whatever you want) and leave messages saying you're interested in buying a "insert object here." Ask that they call you back ASAP on Monday morning at the following number. Then give them your friend's number. On Monday morning all of these places will get your message and call your friend back. Your friend will have no idea what's going on or why all the portapotty companies in town thinks he wants to rent one.

Call up a friend staying at hotel and pretend to be the hotel manager. Tell them that there's going to be a mandatory fire drill at 3 A.M and your friend should be ready to go. All guests not out of the hotel within five minutes receive a fine. Throw in a lot of references to it being fire code and the hotel has no control over this blah blah. Your friend will be wide awake at 3 a.m waiting for the drill.

This prank call takes a team of two, so grab your friend with the best acting skills. You both need to have your own phone on the same line. Call a random person and start a telemarketing spiel. About five seconds in, your friend should pick up and pretend to be your boss. Your friend should ask him what he thinks he's doing calling customers after being fired. You should start making up an excuse. Your friend should apologize to the person on the phone and explain that you were fired last week, but refuse to stop coming in. Your friend should start asking your victim if he was harassing you, saying sexual things, asking her on dates etc. Keep this going for as long as possible until the confused person finally hangs up.

Make a friend think you have an automated telephone service the next time he calls you. Pick up the phone and say (in your best computer voice) Hello. Please listen to the following options and choose the best one. Press 1 to speak to Robert, press 2 to speak to Danielle, press 3 to speak to (your name). If you need further assistance please stay on the line. Once your friend presses 3, wait a second, and then start talking normally.

Three-way call a friend but don't tell him about the third person on the line. The secret third person should echo everything the friend says. When the friend asks what's going on, the other person on the phone should say he doesn't hear anything unusual.

I like to occasionally reverse prank those who call me.

As soon as I pick up the phone, I ask if Dave is there. Unless it's Dave calling. Then I ask for Mike.

If I recognize the caller, I'll ask for whoever in their household isn't likely to call me.

Tends to lead to more than a few stunned seconds of confusion.

Not really a prank phone call, but if you're on the phone to your car insurance company to renew you policy and the respondant sounds like a naive female, when they ask you if you've made any alterations to your vehicle, tell them you've added a flux capacitor.

Then LOL to yourself as they put you on hold to consult their supervisor.

For this you will need a friend of the same gender as you.Grab a phone and call some one that is NOT the same gender as you and your friend.Then use fake names to start flirting with them.Start to argue with your friend and say things like "I wanted to call him" or "I was gonna speak first!".For example, 2 girls could use the name Jessica and Nicole.It should go something like this...

Jessica:"Hey (victims name here)
Nicole:I was gonna talk first b*tch!
Jessica:Well he likes me anyway!
Nicole:No he does'nt i was just trying to make you feel better when i said that to you!
Jessica:Whatever you're just saying that because you hate the truth!He does'nt like b*tch*s anyway!"

Now start banging the walls and make it sound like you're having a fight!They will be so confused.I did it and it worked!LOL!This usually works better when girls do it.Sorry boys!

Call up the manager of some fancy 5 star hotel/Inn and say hello this is Jane/Robert I would like to book another stay at Hotel ____. Manager will ask, "What kind of room would you like?" Say you would like a good sized room with a small bed, but this time make sure there's no little orange and black bugs on the bed, and that you don't get the one with the huge rip in the middle. And the bathroom has no "scat in the toilet"-- Laugh normally and say " Yeah, my husband/wife wasn't too pleased about that." And and a big TV set with a remote that doesn't have half the buttons pulled out of it. Say, "I was disappointed in your place, but my wife's cousin in law, Bill gates gave me a whole wad of cash so I could get to my trip in ____ in time. The manager will be so embarrassed, plus impressed that your related to Bill gates, if you really do end up staying there you can expect freebies and a maid at your side making sure nothing goes wrong! And, the employees will get a serious beat down for giving you a bad room! (Did this a couple times!)

If you have some sort of voice recorder that will record at least 30 seconds, you will need that. Record this:
Hello! If you are not Bryan Harris, then hang up. If you are Bryan Harris continue to listen to this message. You are the 100th customer of Wal-Mart today. You have been chosen to receive a free laptop. Call 495-9500 to receive your prize. Again that is 495-9500. Thank you, Bryan Harris. This is a message from Julie Kaminsky. If you have any questions or concerns about your true win, call me at (804) 448-0414.

Try your hardest to make it sound like a computer recording. If you need to, which I highly reccomend if you have Windows 7 or microsoft word 2010, type that up on microsoft word 2010, then press the green arrow play button. Record with your recording system. then, play back when you make a call. You should test call your friend first to make sure you don't laugh. Enjoy! :)
