Is prank calling illegal?

Is prank calling illegal? *Read the detail*?

• Say you are prank calling buisnesess, not saying anything threatening, just saying random stuff, or complaining about their food, or whatever they sell, would that be illegal? And if you block your number, can the police still track it? And how much trouble would you get in, if you are a kid?

• Answer:

  It still can be considered harassment. It depends on how much the people you are harassing want to press the issue, how strict the cops want to be, and if it goes that far, how tough the judge is. There are ways that the police can track the number even if it is blocked. The people you are harassing can say that you are threatening them (even if you are not). The court system will most likely side with the businesses over the juvenile delinquents. If it is a business that is part of a large chain, then be prepared. They have big money and high priced lawyers that can eat you alive. My advice to you is to grow up and quit doing prank calls. Think about it. Is the few seconds the call lasted worth any trouble you could get into? Is it worth the stress of freaking out about if you are going to into trouble? You must be stressed and freaking out a little bit if you are asking the questions on here.
