- Here's YET another great phone prank. You must be or have the
- following:
-
- Living in a college dorm
- Have a modem
- some patience
-
- Anyway, usually college dorms are situated so that the numbers for the
- phones are sequential, or at least in some order. The point is, you
- have to figure them out. All of them. Anyway, after doing that (Just
- find some one else's number match it with urs, do some work.... Oh well,
- a campus phone books helps too if you want...) As I was saying, when
- you have all of your numbers go to ur telecommunications program(Telix,
- Procomm, Telemate) and set the time-out time to abt 6 seconds. Then,
- after programming in ALL the numbers in an order so it goes from one
- room to the next physically... dial. The program (telemate for
- instance) allows for multiple numbers to be set into a batch, so if it
- doesn't reach one it goes onto the next. The time-out set to 6 seconds
- assures at least one ring to each room, and then goes on to it's
- neighbor. Do this at 3:00 in the morning. Have fun....
-
- (BTW: (i.e. disclaimer) I didn't do this, one of my friends showed me
- how to.... AND do it if ya' want but I'm not responsible....)
-
-
- Then: for answering machines:
-
- Random call and find a machine. Annouce ur from the local radio-station
- and leave a message to the effect of: "Hi! I'm from <insert
- radio-station name, etc.> and if you would have been home you would have
- won our grand prize <insert big time prize here , new car, 1,000 bucks,
- etc...> Imagine the shock, then imagine if you could get someone to do
- it for your friend(someone youir friend hasn't met)...!
-
- Oh well. See disclaimer above.
