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.

October 3rd, 2008 @ 4:10 pm
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?

Well, one or two times I have maybe perhaps picked up the phone and accidentally dialed the number of the guy on whom I had a crush, and the his girlfriend….but of course, that was long before the advent of Caller ID, ha ha.

October 3rd, 2008 @ 4:19 pm
Sorry to say that yes I did make some prank calls as a kid. I also sometimes call my best friend (she does the same) and we’ll leave prank call messages on each others answering machines. (We both know if it’s a strange message….who did it. lol)
Thanks so much for this giveaway.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 4:25 pm
Of course I have prank called! Is there anyone who hasn’t?
October 3rd, 2008 @ 4:27 pm
As a kid, I and pals made many prank calls, most in the “do you have Prince Albert in the can?” variety. (The response to a “yes” is: “let him out!”)
October 3rd, 2008 @ 4:28 pm
No never!
October 3rd, 2008 @ 4:37 pm
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.

October 3rd, 2008 @ 4:46 pm
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.

years ago they used to have total phones where you could call someone and connect them to another caller and they would answer hello and both would wait for the other to answer I didnt call you you called me, I didn’t call you you called me. It was a riot after that to hear them squabble
October 3rd, 2008 @ 5:00 pm
When I was a kid I called 411 and asked if they could connect me to the super mario brothers. i think she got a kick out of it.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 5:13 pm
I used to prank my ex at 3 am, but that was a long time ago, plus she deserved it!

Yes, when I was in middle school as well. My dad caught me and I was grounded for a week.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 5:31 pm
I did prank a nephew of mine, Rick. Called and pretended to be a radio contest host and that he won. Much fun!
October 3rd, 2008 @ 5:34 pm
Yes when I was younger & I never got caught.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 5:38 pm
When I was young, it was common to call and ask Is your
refrigerator running, and respond with you better go catch it. I dont know why it was so funny, but at least it was not mean-spirited.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 5:40 pm
Yes, I have but honestly it’s been about 25 years ago. I think I asked if their refrigerator was running.

My husband, his best friend & I prank called one of his coworkers in his company that would ALWAYS get the soldiers in trouble & late coming home from work. It would drive me bonkers. Anyways, so we were drinkin’ one night & they dared me to prank called him - I did. It was fun & hilarious. The jerk got it coming.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 5:45 pm
Yes, I did back in the 70’s.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 5:48 pm
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.

I never prank called anyone since I was never much of a phone person at a younger age. Plus I never wanted to get in trouble for anything either.

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!
October 3rd, 2008 @ 6:50 pm
I did as a young kid.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 6:50 pm
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.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 6:51 pm
Many, many moons ago.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 6:54 pm
I never prank called. It was not the thing when I was growing up.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 7:02 pm
Wow — Feeling left out! I never have prank called — I think just because growing up our parents put the fear of God in us about how much trouble we would get in if we did because they said it was completely disrespectful!
October 3rd, 2008 @ 7:14 pm
Yay. Cool phone, count me in. I always lose mine and find it in the freezer, LOL.
I used to prank my own house…. to see if my mom had made it home or not. Wondering if I had to hurry home or could stay a bit longer. Dork!
October 3rd, 2008 @ 7:17 pm
my friends and I used to dial random numbers and say strange things!
October 3rd, 2008 @ 7:22 pm
Oh, I totally prank called A LOT of people! I was a loser, and had nothing better to do than that. =)
I love pranking my “crushes”, and asking for famous people. I know, laugh out loud…I was 12. Gimme a break!
I would love to win! I have been feelin’ the luck. Hopefully that plays in my favor.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 7:24 pm
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.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 7:30 pm
Yes! I have prank called someone. I called disguising myself as his mom and went along with it not knowing that it was me! I’m a dude by the way…..its kinda hard trying to make his moms voice
October 3rd, 2008 @ 7:48 pm
Absolutely, when I was 10 with my BFF. We did the refrigerator running and the Prince Albert in a can. My mother would have killed me.

Once, when I was maybe ten or twelve years old, I prank-called the guy I had a crush on. He never figured out who called him…
Which is probably just as well… he now lives in the same apartment complex as a good friend of mine, and smokes a lot of pot… as well as several other substances that I cannot identify…

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!
October 3rd, 2008 @ 9:31 pm
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 sure could use the phone you are giving away. I still make prank calls to my 80 year old parents, hee hee.

Oh yes, most definitely. We did the corny refrigerator running ones to bizarre ones. Another thing we used to do is call up the boys we were supposedly going out with and either disguise our voices or have a friend pretend to be another girl who liked him (and we’d be listening on the other end) to see what he’d say. Can’t tell ya how many unfaithful boyfriends we caught this way!

Forgot about caller ID. She called back. Turns out it was a complete stranger. She left a rather annoyed message. Guuuh, never doing that again, EVER EVER EVER.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 10:59 pm
I HAVE NEVER CRANK CALLED ANYONE.
October 3rd, 2008 @ 11:07 pm

October 3rd, 2008 @ 11:07 pm
Oh yea..we pretty much all have haven’t we?
October 3rd, 2008 @ 11:15 pm
All the time.
Caller id and star 67 has totally ruined prank calling. A kid was prank calling me and just about died when I called back to talk to his mom.
October 4th, 2008 @ 12:15 am
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.

Yes, when I was in middle school, I and a friend called a random number and said “you’re on a radio program right now and you’ve just won a dishwasher!” And the woman on the phone believed it.
And then we said her “it’s just a prank”, hehe

Sure, when I was a kid.
October 4th, 2008 @ 7:29 am
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!
October 4th, 2008 @ 7:31 am
Yes! A few years ago when I returned to my home I called the person who had been youth pastor at my church. Awoke him early in the morning and proclaimed I was from the IRS and got both he and his wife very worried, then said IRS was International Rapture Search.
October 4th, 2008 @ 7:33 am
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.
October 4th, 2008 @ 7:33 am
Of course, but it has been a looooooong time.
October 4th, 2008 @ 7:34 am

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.”

When I was younger- YES! It was so much fun!

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!!

I must say I never pranked called anyone. I must have been a very boring teenager. I love the phone. Thanks for your contest!

I did the same thing Gail did…
The prank with the “fridge running” joke.
I now do my pranks in person which aggravates the shit out of my wife

so many phone pranks in my younger years it was ridiculous
October 4th, 2008 @ 8:56 am
No, I never have, and honestly have never understood the attraction that doing so has for people.
October 4th, 2008 @ 9:05 am
Only when I was a little kid. It was only a few times with the refrigerater running bit.

When I was young I had someone prank me that he could see me undressing. I belived it and was shook up for awhile and then realized that I had a room darkening shade and where My window was located was in no way possible someone could even have seen anything.

When I was a lot younger, and on a family vacation, my cousin and I called people and said we were from the local sewer dept., and we had noticed they were (putting it nicely here), sending more waste than others and they needed to cut back. Some actually said they were sorry and would stop flushing so much!
October 4th, 2008 @ 9:35 am
Yeah. I’ve done it. I don’t think you had a normal childhood before caller id if you didn’t do it. Boy, its a shame that our childrens generation is missing out on some cheap harmless fun.
thanx for the contest.

No, they’re usually not funny, and are also a waste of time.

Someone call my house one day and when I answered I said “Joe’s pool hall your shot ! They didn’t know what to say.

I really need a new phone right now!
October 4th, 2008 @ 10:00 am
I really need a new phone right now! I used to do prank calls as a kid, but not for a long time now.
October 4th, 2008 @ 10:01 am

“Do you pefer Coke or Pepsi?”

I haven’t prank called anyone, but I prank-texted my boyfriend’s boss after a particularly nice lunch out. I sent him “like, I love you, man!!!” because we were all giddy from the awesome food and I was the only person whose phone number he didn’t already know.
October 4th, 2008 @ 10:03 am
When I was a kid, it was all “go play outside and don’t come back until dark” really, it was! So on bad weather days we prank called and otherwise drove mom nuts.

October 4th, 2008 @ 10:11 am
Yes, when I was young with my friends, we used to call my brother’s annoying friends and prank them. Thanks!
October 4th, 2008 @ 10:32 am
Yes, I have to admit that I did make crank calls when I was little; there was no caller ID then. Thank you!
October 4th, 2008 @ 10:46 am
I think prank calling is a rite of passage for growing up. I didn’t do it too much, but I am guilty!

Yes, my brothers and I did all the time. It was fun then. But today if someone prank called me I would be angry. LOL LOL
October 4th, 2008 @ 11:10 am
Nope. Haven’t made any prank phone calls…yet.
October 4th, 2008 @ 11:15 am
Have i ever pranked somebody? Many many times! haha. We used to do the “is your fridge running, well go catch it” prank. Then in high school when we were boy crazy we would call the college dorm numbers and if a guy answered we would say they gave us their number at a party. I’m glad a good 10-13 years have passed =)
October 4th, 2008 @ 11:16 am
As a kid I think I spent one whole day making prank call until it got really boring and I haven’t done it since. I would love to win the v-tech phone. I am in dire need of a new phone and I love V-tech phones! Thanks for the chance.

I did. I’m not proud…but I did.

I’ve prank called my dad and brother before pretending to be from a survey office to tell them they had won some cleaning products. Nothing better than to have fun, right?
Thanks for the giveaway! We could certainly use this phone as ours is acting up.
October 4th, 2008 @ 11:40 am
I did when I was much younger, and I still feel horrible about it.
October 4th, 2008 @ 12:01 pm
I never did, but I years ago I was getting obscene phone calls in the middle of the night. Really scared me bad because he knew my name and I was frequently home alone with the kids at night.

when I was in college we called random dorms and did a copy of jerky boys phone pranks. we even recorded it and my old roommate probably still
