Phone Giveaway!
- October 3rd, 2008 3:10 pm
The Contest is now over. We have a winner, commenter #13 Siobhan. Thanks so much for all of the entries!
I was recently given the opportunity to check out the new Vtech DS6121. It’s a very sleek cordless phone with many desirable features. The phone is equipped with DECT 6.0 Technology. It has a digital answering system. Caller ID function. And the design is just so handy.
The phone even has special digital technology that will protect you from identity theft during phone conversations where you might have to give personal information, which I thought was particularly handy and interesting. Another favorite feature of mine is the selectable ringtone option. Additionally, the sound quality was awesome.
To be honest, my favorite feature by far, aside from the slim design, is the ability to locate a lost handset. On the base of the phone, there’s a button you can push to help locate the handset if you lose it. I am so guilty of this. It was the neatest feature, by far. It is the best cordless phone that I have ever used. In the past, I’ve had many vTech products, including the cordless phones, and as always, they deliver in design, usability, and overall function.
You also have a chance to win one of these spectacular telephones. You don’t have a landline, you say? Well, try to win the phone to give as a gift for an upcoming bridal shower, birthday, or Christmas gift. It is absolutely fabulous. All you have to do is leave a comment telling me if you have ever prank called anyone. When I was in middle school, this was the thing to do. We would just leaf through the phone book dialing people up and asking them bizarre things. Until one day, when we got in loads of trouble, which is a whole other post.
Anyway, enter to win the phone! Come on, you know you want to!
Only one entry per person. This contest will be over at 7 PM on October 11, 2008. A winner will be selected using a random generator.

I did prank call once (or a few times).
The one I remember was a girl that was in my sisters class. Her dad was the principal of the school, and she was kinda skeezy.
So, we called him and said “It’s 11:00, do you know where your daughter is?”
And he said “Which one?”
At that point, I ran out of clever things to say (Not that I had actually SAID anything clever) and hung up.
Everytime I think of it, I’m all – that wasn’t even funny!!

My sister and I used to call random numbers and she would yell “Help! I’m getting murdered!”
Until one woman yelled me “Oh No! I’m getting murdered too!”
It took us years to figure out that she probably wasn’t.

When I was very young, before caller ID of course, I called a random number and asked the following lame question:
Me: Is your refrigerator running?
Prankee: Yes
Me: Well, you’d better catch it, it’s running down the street!
Is that lame-o or what?

I used to prank call my mother all the time (when I was in Scotland). I’d call her from a friend’s house and pretend I was from a home order catalogue that she’d order from and I’d put on my best annoying English accent.
There used to be a feature on the phones in Britain where you could dial 1-7-4 and it would call you back a minute later and eventually say after about 10 seconds, “line testing OK”. I’d do that when she was waiting for an important phone call.
Then there was the usual…call the operator…”is this the operator on the line? Well, you’d better get off, there’s a train coming!” That was lame though. Contest or not, this is a great question.

Oh sure, it’s so much fun. My little sister used to go babysitting down the street. I’d wait until I felt that the kids were asleep and it was suitably dark outside, and then I’d give her a ring. In a whispering, raspy voice I’d say, “Have you checked the children?” Then I’d slowly slip the phone into its cradle…hehehehehehe….

one of my friends prank called my uncle. my poor 73 year old uncle while i was sitting right next to her. not when i was 10, 14, or even 17. no. i was 28.
he’s quite the lothario and swears that every young woman is out to get in his pants. i told her to call him and tell him she saw his picture at my house and found his phone number and heard he would be in town.
when i felt bad enough, i got on the phone and told him it was a joke, hahahaa. he said that my friend sounded hot and asked (again) if she was single. i said she was moving to hawaii in a week.
he’s still broken up about it. and so am i.

Oh wow. I totally remember prank calling. I used to feel so guilty when my friends would do it, then there was the inevitable peer pressure to join in. I truly hated it. Because we lived in a teeny town, everyone knew everyone else. It was only a matter of time before your great Aunt Sue or your cousin Seth would answer, and you’d feel like a doof.

Oh, how we loved to prank call!! Too bad for today’s youth that it is so easily traceable. We had a blast doing it. I was always the one to do it since I can keep a straight face and not laugh. I took my post and lead prank caller with honor.
That being said, our prank calls had NOTHING on our toilet papering skills. We were the best!
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this phone! My husband convinced me to go with the cheap cordless when we got our land line and it is awful! I pray that I am randomly selected as the winner!

When I was younger, my boyfriend and I did prank call someone. In fact, it was the Herpetarium here in my city- but he called from his Arkansas cell phone. He kept asking to speak to someone who can help him. They had NO clue what he was talking about. So, they hung up on him. He’d call again asking if his ‘problem’ would be kept confidential. Well, the secretary hands the phone over to the manager. My boyfriend asks again, and then the manager hangs up… finally figuring out what he was talking about.
When I think about that stupid prank call, I have to giggle because it speaks for itself.

I tried to prank call my parents and a friend using a internet page that claimed you could type a phrase into the box and enter the number you wanted to have called and it would say the phrase. . . Didn’t work. We tried it on ourself first. I was rather disappointed. Other than that I have been pranked and my husband thought it was the funniest thing. I got a call on my cell phone and when I answered it was a guy asking if I would listen while he. . . um. . .had fun with himself. I thought it was my husband for a second and then doubted and asked who it was. I got the same comment back and I asked who the F*** it was and then hung up when I started to get the same comment. Wasn’t my husband but he started laughing a lot when I told him.

In 1979, before call display and modern technology, I called the fire department and told them that the house was on fire. I was all panicky and freaked out and then hung up.
Within in minutes the fire department came and realized there was no fire after smashing the door down.
The ironic thing was the person who lived there was a police officer. He heard that his house was on fire over the police radio and came rushing home in his police car.
Needless to say there was lights everywhere and the street was blocked.
To this day, only me and my girlfriends know about this…well now the world does. I feel bad, sorry!

Of course, until my Mom caught me in the act. I called a neighbor of ours and did the “Prince Albert in the Can” one and she handed the phone to my mother (who was visiting her at the time unbeknownst to me) and I heard my Mom say “Maggie, I thought I told you to knock this s_ _ t off!” I hung up fast and worried all afternoon that I was going to get grounded or beat, but when my Mom got home she just looked over at me and laughed. Guess the “prank” was on me.

I was never a caller, but I DID let other’s use my phone. Typically, they’d end up slipping into flirt mode, picking a man’s name and calling, pretending to be Sarah or Tasha or Jennifer or some imaginary woman that thought she’d met the dude at the bar/coffee shop/video store that night.
Funniest was when a) this mom once answered and said that her son was away backpacking in Europe but that she figured my friend’d met his bf, since he was always pulling stunts like that and gave her HIS REAL PHONE NUMBER; and b) when wives/gfs would answer and get REAL pissed that their spouse had given out their number to some twinkie. Who was obviously very drunk.

Of course I did a little prank calling in my middle school days! We were so high-tech back then, too. We’d record our voices/comments on to a piano keyboard, call someone randomly and then play our voices back in different “notes” from the piano so that we couldn’t be recognized. “Is there a John in the house? NO? Then where do you go to the bathroom??” So cheesy!

Years ago as some have said when there wasn’t caller id and the usual fridge and prince albert calls. I didn’t do it but once as I was afraid of getting in trouble! My brothers however, loved to do stuff like that as well as run up to a door and ring the door bell and then hide.

I go back before cordless, cell or any other kind of phone except black desk sets. We used to call stores and ask if they had Prince Albert (a brand of loose tobacco for pipe smoking) in a can and if they said yes we would say “Well you better let him out before he suffocates.”

In middle school a bunch of girlfriends and I called Wal-Mart pretending to be a customer in the bathroom stall without toilet paper. We told her we were in the last stall.
It sounds lame but just imagine that ladies surprise when she walks in the bathroom asking who called about the toilet paper and no one answers her! Hahah!! Imagine too if she might think this person just walked up and left without wiping their butt!!

Oh girl, I was the QUEEN of prank phone calls. I pranked people constantly. One time I had my guy cousin call Kentucky fried chicken and ask a lady how large her breasts were. She jumped all over him and let him have it (we had called her three way, I was at my parents and he was at his). After she jumped all over him, I called her back and acted like he was my son and that he simply was calling her to find out the size of the chicken breasts per his mother’s request. I proceeded to let her know how offensive I found her behavior toward my son. This lady apologized over and over and said she is just used to getting prank phone calls and thought that him calling was one as well. Ha-ha!!! Well it was!!!!
Also, when I was in 9th grade I took gymnastics for my P.E. class and the coach was out of his office quite a bit. We would go in there and use his phone and make tons of prank phone calls during our P.E. class. I had a friend that went to another school and one day I called his mother while he was at school. I told him that I was one of the counselors at my high school and that my friend was seen on our campus. He got home from school and his mother was ticked. He got in trouble and he didn’t even do anything. Poor thing went to school and did what he was supposed to, but not according to the counselor (me) from my high school. Ha-ha!!!! Thanks for having us comment about our pranking, it brought back lots of fun memories.

I have totally prank back in grade school and that was the last time. I had my cousin over for a sleep over and we just dialed a random number and when this woman answered I just spoke gibberish and then hung up. We laughed for about two seconds when all the sudden my phone rang and asked for my mother. I was too stupid to realize the woman had caller ID. The next stupid step was when I actually went and told my mom someone wanted to talk to her. I got my mother and the woman explained what we did. That was the last time haha. Needless to say I got in some major trouble.

I have never prank called anyone, but I have pranked telemarketers who call me. You know the ones that are a recorded message saying your warranty is about to expire, or we can lower your credit card interest rates? If it says we want to help you lower your rates, I talk to a rep and insist the recording told me my warranty is about to expire, and I get very panicked upset that they won’t fix it so it doesn’t expire.
I’ve had reps say Okay, I’ll fix it. They come back in a few seconds and say it’s done and then try to interest me in lowering my interest rates. One rep apparently got tired of dealing with me and told me the warranty expired because I was $2,000 behind in payments. I almost started to cry and asked him if I could use my credit card to bring it up to date. To give him some credit, he did NOT take my CC#, but he did still try to get me to lower my interest rates. When I told him I really really needed lower rates and that I need to know his company’s address or at least see their website before I could do business with them, he hung up on me.

Yes, I’ve done prank calls. When I was 10 or 11, my cousins came over for Christmas weekend and one night we randomly called people and asked for weird names. Later that night, I hit redial on the phone by accident and the guy who answered said something like, “You f*** little brat, I’m going to call the cops. You better never call me again or I’m going to…” I hung up on him but I was scared that he really called the cops. I haven’t pranked anyone since.
I have been pranked myself. When I was a Junior, I got a phone call on a Saturday afternoon and the guy said that he loved me and hung up. I knew it was a prank and was laughing so hard. The next Monday at school, I found out that Travis (jock) was prank calling all of the dorky girls.

My friend and I were EVIL.
Around December we would call kids in our neighborhood and pretend to be Santa Clause. You have got to love the local phone books the local church creates. Ours even had the birthdays in it.
Well we would tell some of the kids that they had been naughty and that they should be good for Christmas. One kid told us that he didn’t believe in Santa. That was when my friend said, “Fine, I won’t bring you any presents.” The kid then shouted, “I believe! I believe!”
As I said.. EVIL.

I must admit that I was guilty of making prank calls when I was about 12 years old. My friend and I would call up beauty salons and make appointments to have our hair cut. We would first talk at length about our hair being below our waist and how afraid we were to cut it and on and one. Very, very naughty and wrong to do. Well, as with most pranks, we got caught and got in serious trouble. We also had to call the salons back to tell them how sorry we were.

Boy after just a few pranks back to our home my mother punished us for doing this silly kid prank.
Would love to win his phone as we just signed up for digital service, and my husband will not give any personal information at all out over the pc or the telephone, maybe this will help his fear a little.

I really hate to admit it…but yes as a youngster we used to get bored on the weekends and prank call random people. But it was usually simple things like “Is your refrigerator running”?

yes I admit it, i have pranked others, something about bowling alleys and refrigerators running. I don’t remember much, just following others and then being scared we’d be tracked down. This was WAY before caller ID! hehe.

It was the thing to do at slumber parties so of course I have. I got my husband to call 911 once. I was reading off a phone number for pizza delivery and I said 9-1-1 and he actually dialed it. I thought he would catch it in time. Luckly we were in a hotel so it just rang the front desk and they called us back to see if everything was ok. But it was hilarious.

October 8th, 2008 @ 9:24 am

Oh my gosh yes, we used to make “phony phone calls”, LOL! If I only knew back then how annoying we were, I never would have done it! My girlfriends and I used to make lots of prank calls when we were young teenagers. God forgive me, please!! We used to call the houses of the boys we had crushes on. When their parents or sibling answered we would ask for the person (boy crush) and when he came to the phone we would just listen to his voice! How immature is that, LOL! It brings back memories of a more simple time of life when we didn’t have a care in the world. Hope my kids never go through that phase – another life lesson I need to teach them! We sure could use this ultra cool Vtech DS6121 cordless phone in our home. With 3 children and a husband we are always needing an extra phone to use! I love the specs on this phone, they cover all the important basics!! Thanks for this great giveaway and for letting me reminisce about my past!

My friends and I used to call the same number four or five times and ask if “Jennifer” was there. The poor person on the other end would start out nicely telling us we had the wrong number, and get more and more exasperated as the calls went on. Finally, one last person would call and say “Hi, this is Jennifer, do I have any messages?”

Yep. In Junior High School we called Liquor Stores one night to ask if they had Jim Beam in a bottle. If they said yes, we said “Let him out.” We laughed really hard, silly girls that we were. Now, with caller ID, our parents would have been called by a store employee and the Liquor Store employees would have the last laugh.

What what an awesome phone!! SWEET!!
When my best friend & I were in 10th grade I think, her, me & her sister stayed up all night one friday dialing random numbers & making prank calls…but oh no, it wasn’t just to people we went to school with or the lunch lady….
No our stupid butts called the virgin islands, Hawaii, Cali & a few other places…
We ended up calling some hotel in the Virgin Islands & I was on the phone, asking the lady about hotel rates, lol, she ended up yelling at me & called me a “son of a b***h” then hung up. So we hit redial & I asked why she hung up on me and she replied “you ARE, you ARE a S.O.B!!” and then continued to cuss me out.
Then we randomly dialed some Hawaiian dudes named Andy & Mike I think & we stayed on the phone with them for like 3 hours just chatting…
Needless to say when Teresa & Nikki’s mom got the $700 phone bill all of us were in deep poop!!

I feel really bad about this now, but when I was a kid there was some lady in the phonebook named Bunny Hopper (poor poor woman) my friends used to call her whenever they were bored and just kind of tease her about her name like we all in the same class or something . I talked to her a few times, she sounded like she wanted to murder us. poor lady.
i would dedicate this phone to the memory of Bunny and only prank people with terribly boring names with it.

Unfortunetly I never got to prank anyone as I didn’t grow up with a phone and by the time we did get a phone, didn’t think about joking. As time goes on, those were the days and now the days of reality are here. The phone sounds really nice and just in time for the holidays! I do know a good prank should anyone consider ” You won the prize if you know the answer, Mounds is plain, and Almond Joy has ?” Then you hear the person scream NUTS, scare ya half to death and then pee your pants.

Never pranked called. We had the old phone that you dial up and they were locked. ALthough back then if you kept ttying to dial even though it was locked you got a party line. They didnt have party lines back then. Met people you would have never. I was 16, met a navy guy that asked me to marry him even though we never met. Thought that was really odd. Of course I said no. I also stopped trying to dial out after that. Pretty scary.

Many, many times. This was way before caller Id came out. My girlfriend and I would spend the night at her dads house and call random people from the phone book. I pretended to be a lost child dialing the wrong number from a mall. We burped in peoples ears, we called people and pretended to be a radio station telling them they won a 1,000.00 and then just hang up on them. We were pretty bad. My friend got so obsessed with it that she did a prank call when I wasn’t there and got busted by her dad! The prank call sleep overs stopped.

It brought back many memories, stumbling across my 13-year old (middle-schooler) son, carefully dialing the ‘disable caller ID’ code, then prank calling his school-buddies — his attempts to disguise his voice were the funniest part of the whole thing…
We could REALLY use the “find the cordless unit” feature in this household, unfortunately!! Thx!

I had 3 older sisters so a phone got put in our room earlier than I should have had one. OHHHH YEAH I did my fair share of prank calls, the usual grocery store ones, to friends, to friends parents. Nothing as bad as the poster above that called the fire department (OMG!!) but they still made us roll around on the bed laughing till our bellies hurt just the same.
We SOOOO need a new phone, ours is so old I am surprised the numbers are not rotary dial
Thank you for the chance to win and good luck everyone!
Nice prize!

In sixth or seventh grade, when several of us girlfriends would get together for sleepovers, the most popular bedrooms to meet in were the lucky ones with phones — and sometimes we would be calling cute guys, sometimes the local pizza places, less often dialing at random… I remember the one random call made where the person who answered really scared us, talking in this very strange accent about collecting wicked little girls for sale overseas — too large a hint of ‘unsafe’ and calls after that were usually to people we knew… ah, times past… you should ask about people hitchhiking next, maybe? Thanks for the chance at the nice phone!

Recently I phoned an old friend at his office. The receptionist said he was with a client, and Did I want to leave a message? I said yes. I gave her my phone number, and asked if he would call “Ida Sessions.” Ida Sessions is a character in my friend’s favorite movie, CHINATOWN.
Sure enough, my friend, unwittingly, returned my call.
He asked politely, “Is this Ida Sessions?”
I roared laughing, and only then did he realize whom he’d called.

Prank phone calls? Oh yeah. It seems like we mostly made them to boys we had crushes on. Just to hear his voice on the phone???!!! Of course we used to make them also when we were angry at boyfriends who hurt our feelings to wreak havoc in their lives.
Now I would not do things like that…but I do wonder if my teens ever do? Not to the best of my knowledge, but then again my parents never knew about it.

Oh really….what kid hasn’t? LOL .
When I was around 10 I lived in a rural area near a small country store. One day a friend and I mustered up some courage and called with the typical “Do you have Prince Phillip in a can? Well, you’d better let him out!” (Prince Phillip was a brand of tobacco.)

Yes I have . It was the thing to do during slumber parties when I was a kid. Now sometimes I’ll prank call my mother. She’s pretty quick at guessing who it is but still we get a laugh out of it. I’ve even taught my kids the fine art of prank calling. (but only their family or friends) . Thanks for the giveaway!

When I was a kid, my older sister and I would prank call those customer feedback numbers you see on product packages — we’d make up some horrific story about the product in question (such as finding a human finger in a box of raisins) and usually start laughing or lose our nerve in the process.

I was always afraid of getting caught and getting in trouble so my prank calling was limited when when I was younger. This was back before the time of caller ID and for some reason, I liked to just call people and not say anything. Weird, I know.

When I was a teenager whenever we had a slumber party we would always prank call. We would open the phone book up with our eyes closed and one of us would pick a name and number and call them. We would ask them one of two questions. First one was is your refrigerator running? Second one was do you have Prince Albert in a can. I guess we could have been worse. I know I am not going to win, but thanks for bring up old memeories.

Oh, yeah, I used to prank call! I prank-called just about anyone I knew. One of my favorites would be when I was talking with a friend. We would count to three, and both dial two more people that hated each other with each of our three-way. The two people we called would get mad at each other, and accuse the other of calling them.

When I was a child. Our neighbor across the street had a large front room window by which they always sat with the curtains drawn open. We soon discovered that their telephone was on a coffeetable near them. Peering through a crack in our curtains, we would call their house and wait for them to reach for the phone at which time we would hang up just seconds before they would lift the receiver. I don’t recall if they ever figured out what was going on.

I have pranked call the same family more than once. It wasn’t a mean prank call though, just something to provide them with a story to tell. For about 3 years when I was younger my best friend & I picked a random number out of the phone book & used to call them every holiday with a holiday greeting. “Happy New Year”, “Happy St. Patrick’s Day”, “Merry Christmas” etc.. I hope they celebrated those holidays. We only stopped because we bothed moved away.

I never made random prank calls, but one time my friend and I called a radio station several times in a row, using different accents, to request the song “Shadow Dancing” by Andy Gibb. After about five calls, the DJ asked, “Are you having a party?” But he did eventually play the song.
I have a vTech cordless phone, and it’s been great, but it’s several years old and on its last legs. I’d love a new one!

I don’t remember pranking anyone, at least not anything original.

They normally don’t call back after that. It’s so funny to hear some of their responses!

I really can’t believe that everyone hasn’t made prank phone calls when they were young- what sheltered lives you all have lived. I on the other hand remember making many many calls with my girlfriend at her home. We did all the ones you have all said, I do remember calling and asking for someone say named Alice and then calling many times for Alice and they would say this is the wrong number and then you would call and say This is Alice do I have any messages–silly and sad but when you were in middle school it seemed sooo fun!
