Is prank calling illegal?

Is prank calling illegal?

  • I think its only illegal in certain states right? And I don't mean prank calling businesses or emergency phones.

  • Answer:

    Prank calling is not illegal though, if you are caught you can face charges for disturbing the peace. This all depends on the harm caused by the prank. Ex. if you prank call a person to tell them you are going to kidnap them, then you are very likely to face charges of obstruction of peace.
