Ring, ring! It’s time to take your pranks up a notch with 15 silly numbers to prank call that connect you with the Tooth Fairy, a fake national emergency operator, a man who reveals you don’t want to be friends anymore and a variety of other hilarious fictional places. While traditional prank phone calls may be a thing of the past thanks to things like caller-ID, you can still trick your friends and family members with numbers that direct them to hilarious hotlines.
Besides giving out a fake number to make someone laugh , these funny phone numbers also come in handy when you don’t want to reveal your actual digits to a stranger who is harassing you at a bar or who you didn’t hit it off with on a date. However, since prank numbers only work when someone actually calls them up, when you go about giving one out, make sure you mention that you’re not much of a texter and that they should call you instead. Then, they’ll definitely be in for a surprise when they try to get in touch with you.
Check out some of Parade ’s favorite 15 funny numbers to prank call that actually work, below. After you go through our list, the only question you’ll be asking yourself is which one should you try out first!
