Prank calls don't really exist anymore with caller ID and everyone sending unknown numbers to voicemail. (lemm.ee)

I was listening to a Weird Al song about prank calls and realized you can’t really do them anymore now. Also it was funny that he mentioned dialing 7 digit numbers instead of 10

People still try. When I worked retail we'd get them often enough as you can't just not answer an unknown number when someone is calling the store.

That said, if it's an unknown number we're already expecting a prank call and are just waiting for the first excuse to hang up.
