Most people have some form of caller ID these days, making the art of the prank call almost obsolete. But, it's still possible to have some fun on the phone if the prank call is completed in reverse. A reverse prank call is a way to involve friends and acquaintances in the game without their knowledge that the game is even going on.
Instructions
1. Wait until someone calls your telephone. The reverse prank call is a joke on the person who calls you, not the other way around.
2. Answer the phone with a planned phrase. This can be pretending to be another person or a business. If you plan to be someone else, putting on a funny accent can make the call much more entertaining. The accent doesn't have to be perfect--in fact, it's usually funnier if it's not. You can also plan to answer the phone as yourself but plan strange things to say to the person who called you.
3. Use a planned scenario that involves just enough strangeness to keep the caller wondering what's going on. It should not, however, be strange enough that the caller figures out that he is being pranked and hangs up. Interspersing strange phrases in with normal ones will keep the call going longer.
4. Have another scenario and accent planned in case the pranked caller calls back again, believing that he has gotten a wrong number. In some cases you may be able to reverse prank call someone four or five times in a row before they figure out that they've been pranked.
