Prank calling is the act of making a phone call with the intention of causing annoyance or amusement to the recipient. Prank calls can range from simple jokes to elaborate hoaxes, and can be made for a variety of reasons, such as entertainment, revenge, or social commentary.
The history of prank calling can be traced back to the early days of the telephone, when people would often make prank calls to friends and family members. In the 1960s and 1970s, prank calling became more popular, thanks in part to the rise of comedy albums and radio shows that featured prank calls. Today, prank calling is still a popular pastime, and there are even websites and apps that allow people to make prank calls anonymously.
