Actually, unless the person being phoned is threatened or harmed verbally, you cannot get charged for prank calling somebody in Canada. It states that if somebody is harassed verbally over the phone, minor charges can be pressed. In the United States the person phoning can be charged just for phoning.

In Canada, making prank calls is illegal under the Criminal Code as it can be considered a form of harassment or mischief. The penalties for making prank calls can include fines or even imprisonment, depending on the severity of the offense. It is important to remember that making prank calls is not a harmless joke and can have serious consequences.

idk... but always *67 your prank caller so Ur number says restricted so they can't find out who you are at all:-)

First: The *67 trick does not work if, or when, a police report is made on that call - the phone company still holds those records despite any blocking caller ID information and they will turn them over to the local police station.

Second: Laws against such calls vary from state to state and punishments range as well; from $25,000.000 disorderly conduct to terroristic threats and 'jail time' depending on the conduct.
