Yes, you can, but it depends on who you're calling and how often you call. If you prank call someone in one day more than 10 times, you can get put in custody for harassment. If you prank call 911, you can definitely get put in jail because you're wasting money & time and you may be putting some people's lives at risk. You may also need to pay a fine or do community service for this sort of prank calling. This is why if you want to prank call someone, whatever you do, don't call 911 or constantly call one person. It's best not to anyway, for your own sake.

Calling someone would not typically lead to arrest unless it involves harassment, threats, or other illegal behavior. It is important to adhere to the laws and regulations regarding communication and to respect the privacy and boundaries of others to avoid any legal consequences.

Depending on the officer and the situation. However, most of the time it's more dependent on the way the arrestee is acting. If you're cooperative, you'll most likely get to use the phone sooner. If you're being a jerk, are drunk, or combative, it's going to be a while. But there is no legal 'right' to a phone call.

The answer will depend on your specific state laws and the specific action, but generally repeated calls can be charged as harassment.
