Surpise sex her.

I'd just answer the phone by saying santry garda station

"hello, rape crisis centre. Mary speaking, can I help you?"

Meirleach

"Welcome to psychics live, calls cost 2euro per minute....."

Shacklebolt

Whistle sharply down the phone.

Abi

"Hello, Snyper speaking" should do the job.

Kiera

Just answer it and walk away. They'll get tired of you very quick.

A couple of months ago someone was pranking my boyfriends phone and we got tired of it and just diverted the calls to Santry Garda station. Unfortunately we forgot we had done this...

Cue me a couple of days later trying to record Doctor Who for my boyfriend who was in work and couldn't get the DVD recorder working, ringing my boyfriend in a panic and shouting down the phone "OMG I can't get it to work, I can't get it to work!!! I can't get the DVD recorder to work!!" and the Garda at the other end of the phone saying laughing and saying "that wouldn't be a matter for the Gardai miss, you might try ringing the tech desk".

WithCheesePlease

Say absolutely nothing. Just answer the phone and leave it down next to the radio or a speaker or something and walk off. Check back every so often until they get bored and hang up. Try this a few times without saying a word or engaging them in any way. They should get bored eventually.

Play Rick Astley-"Never gonna give you up" down the phone.

I dont tend to get ( many) prank phone calls but what I sometimes do when somebody I know ( or dont know) phones is put on my best poshiest Irish accent , not to hard because I am irish, and say in a clipped voice

'' Hi , you are through to the offices of the irish embassy here in London , , our opening hrs are 9-1 pm and 2-5 pm .

Sorry there is nobody to take your call right now but If you need emergency assistance, please ring the following number 0201 - 6337 - 4906 .

please leave a message after the tone ..thank you - - - - BEEP ''

9 times out of 10 you will get a HUH :eek: WTF ??? ..... on the udder end

Quite a lorra fun .

I've never had any prank calls but if I ever do I plan to put the phone on speaker and put it next to the parrots cage.

He (Blue faced Amazon called Bobby) doesn't need much persuasion to say random phrases like "Hello", "Hello", "Thank You", "Meow", "Cock a dodle doo" (we also have chickens) "Don't bite", "Creak" - with lots of variations and he does a perfect impression of the phone ringing. He confuses the hell out of visitors when no ones in so I guess he'd do the same for a prank caller.

Blow a whistle and burst the eegits eardrums.

Classic answers guys

Sharpshooter

"Good Afternoon/Morning, City Morgue how can I help you?"

Worked for me, but it was obvious to me they were kids so maybe that's why.

This actually happened to my brother like ten years ago when he was making an, 'ahem' adolescent prank call:

-Brother - Is Mrs. Wall there?

-Other Line - No.

-Brother - is Mr. Wall there?

-Other Line - No.

-Brother - Are there any walls there??

-Other Line - We have a suspended ceiling,

Burn.

Play a Daniel O Donnell CD down the line, that should shift them.

That_Guy

Next time she rings just say the following.

"Hi, do you like chicken?"

If the answer is yes then reply in the following way.

"Then suck my cock it's fowl (foul)".

If the answer is no then evacuate the area immediately.

TOP_TOP

my favorite is to let them speak,
the first thing you say is ' your not very smart are you, cuz u havent turned your caller id off...........'
they usually hang up pretty quickly

AnonoBoy

If they do the heavy breathing bit just say....

.... "Mom?"

thomond2006

Quote some Shakespeare.

That'll move em.

Otis Driftwood

Emmm,dont answer the phone?

thebossanova

Get a load of Arnold Schwarzeneggar quotes on a dictaphone....

Same way you handle cold callers

This is Inspector Muc Ramhair, and what connection might you have with the deceased, can I ask?

<flustered warbling>

You do realise that you just rang up a murder scene?

Play as long as they fall for it.

The Big Red Button

If their ID is off, then don't answer the phone. If it's important, they'll leave a voicemail.

If their ID is on, you'll realise it's a prank call etc. Save it in your phonebook as "Do not answer" or some such.

It's pretty simple I would think

55chevy

Just say hello...helll-lo...hell-ooh

As if u can't hear them. They'll get bored.

I know its really old and lame but if ever there was a time for it this is it

Start screaming down the phone telling them you're being raped/murdered and to call the police.

Jesus Juice

Last time someone was pranking me I turn on my guitar amp,left my phone beside it AND CRANKED THAT SHIT TO 11!!:pac:

They never rang again.

tbh i dont think they'd believe you if you said :
'I've just been killed, please call the cops'

well.....unless they're really stupid:D

If you really were getting raped/murdered you'd hardly say ''Actually could you just give me a sec,I have to take this call!''

Jafin

Whenever I get a pranker I just play along with their story until they get bored. Back in the day it was a good way of wasting their credit, but these days with free calls and such its not such an effective strategy.
Once my friend was getting pranks in Xtra Vision, so I picked up one of the calls and gave out to them, messin. They rang back once more and apologised and sorry he had to get his dad involved (they thought I was his dad), priceless!

So yeah just do that or scream really loudly into the phone, or some other high pitched noise...

If you should ever get tired of telemarketers calling -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5z4Vs26-TI

seriously though, just don't answer!!

swingking

just to fill you in. I'm in work here so it's not really an option to not answer the phone. I don't have caller ID so I'm never sure what's going on.

They've made about 40 prank calls to the office here and it's getting very annoying.

The person is from Brazil

Jafin

Whoa, didnt realise you're at work, I thought it was your mobile. Talk to your bos if you can, see if theres anyway to trace the number and block it, or get your extension changed if you have one.

Fracture

Answer it, then say "Its your credit" and sit the phone beside you (not hanging up the phone).

Nay, this is much better

Caller - Is Mr Wall there

Receiver - No, no-one here by that name

Caller - There's no Walls there?

Receiver - No.

Caller - Jaysus, you'd want to get out of there before the roof falls in!
