Phone Pranks: The best free ways to fool your friends

In an age where smartphones are always at your fingertips, playing a good phone prank offers a great way to surprise your friends and laugh together. The best part? You don't have to spend any money on it! In this blog, we discuss some of the most fun and creative phone pranks you can perform for free.

One of the easiest ways to surprise someone is by hiding your number. Call your friend or colleague with number recognition turned off (*31# followed by the number) and pretend to be someone else. You can put on a funny voice or pretend to be a random customer service representative. Be sure to reveal who you are immediately after the prank so no one panics!

Use an app like Fake Call (available for Android and iOS) to schedule a fake call. You can pretend to get an important call in the middle of a conversation or meeting, with hilarious consequences. This app lets you choose a name and number for the caller, making the prank even more believable. Although some advanced features of these apps are paid, you can get started with the basic version for free.

Send a funny but innocuous voice message via WhatsApp pretending to have a serious problem. Use an overly dramatic tone or tell an absurd story. If your friend overhears the message, he will probably worry, only to find out it was all a joke. This works especially well if you normally send more serious messages.

Call your friend in a different voice and pretend you are an unknown person who called the wrong number. You can pretend to be looking for someone or even make up an absurd situation, such as asking about a lost pet. The fun of this prank is in improvising and seeing how long your friend falls for it.

Send an anonymous text message to your friend with a mysterious or funny message. Services such as Texttasy allow you to easily send anonymous messages without revealing your identity. This can lead to hilarious reactions when your friend tries to figure out who the sender is. Just remember to reveal the prank eventually so no one really gets worried.

Play sound effects during a phone call to confuse your friend. Use sounds such as a siren, a knock on the door, or even animal noises to make the conversation uncomfortable or funny. This works especially well if your friend tries to stay serious while you introduce more and more absurd sounds.

Don't want to make fun of someone but just wish them good morning in a fun way? Here you will find funny good morning texts!

Telephone pranks are a great way to escape the daily grind for a while and have a laugh with friends. They are often harmless and can be performed at no cost, making them a perfect choice for a fun time out. In addition, anonymous texting services such as Texttasy allow you to add another layer of mystery and suspense to your pranks.

Whether you opt for a classic like the "Number Recognition Off" prank, or decide to send an anonymous text message, the possibilities for phone pranks are endless. The important thing is to make sure the prank remains friendly and respectful, so everyone can laugh without anyone feeling uncomfortable.
