Who... Is it illegal to prank call?

My friend prank called someone on my homephone. I was wondering if it is illegal to do prank calls, because I don’t want to get into trouble and none of it was my fault - it as hers. What should I do? and is it illegal?

Answer #1

I always though if it was more than 3 times you can call the cops becasue then its harrasment and that its the same way with ding dong ditching, but if they say or do something mean then its harrasment anyway

Answer #2

It is illegal. It is a form of harrassment. However, no one usually gets in trouble if the other person doesn’t make a big deal about it. Just dont’ do it and don’t let your friend use your phone again.

Answer #3

no its not illeagal unless it involves something really really dangerous, why did your friend threaten someone or something because that could be illeagel

Answer #4

Yes, it’s illegal, but it’s illegal in the same way that jaywalking and littering are illegal. It’s a relatively minor crime that isn’t likely to be pursued unless someone makes a major stink over it. It’s safe to relax.
