Prank Calls

Prank calls are a timeless classic. Since the dawn of the telegraph, people would pick up to hear “CLICK CLICK CLIIIICK” and a sudden hangup. I assume. But now, our enemies are more sophisticated, and so are we. They never stop finding ways to advance their power- and neither do we.

We recommend the Freecorder Toolbar for recording your prank calls. Prank call recorders have to be able to capture your incoming AND outgoing sounds, and Freecorder does it well. It seems spyware free too. You will need a mic to make your noise. If you don't have a mic, google for a text-to-speech program and do as you do in [Prank_calls.html#Soundboards soundboard use] or just use a soundboard/play.

Music is great for voicemail flooding too.

VoIP is Voice over IP, aka computer calls. With nary but a microphone (or even without one, through soundboards) an /i/nsurgent can drive an enemy up the wall from the comfort of their own home, and fairly untraceable.

Ah, Skype, a $$$ name synonymous with prank calls and VoIP. A well established program, Skype is based in Luxembourg, and they don't give IPs and account names of callers to anyone. The numbers appear on caller ID as a random string.

Common Sense PROTIP: If you threaten the White House, they will probably give your IP; if you threaten the whity, no one cares. Call targets, not presidents (except the president of Nigeria, I did that once it was hilarious he's a cool guy, eh is black and eh doesn't afraid of anything.)

Skype has the best quality internet calls one can get for a good price; the largest downside is that you must pay to call landlines and cellphones EXCEPT for a free 10 minutes of calling they give you as a demo. You can use this 10 minutes to call and do as you please, and make a new account when the trial runs out. You can buy SkypePro online or pick up an $8 card from Wal-Mart that gives you 3 months of SkypePro. SykpePro is unlimited calls to the US and Canada and like 15 bucks of international credit.

Another great feature about Skype is the ability to hold conference calls, and make multiple outbound connections at once. (Up to 9 people in one conference) Even if you do not have Skype Out you should still have Skype to join these calls. Skype also allows free outgoing calls to toll free numbers in USA, Britain, France, Poland. You can use tools such as 1(800)GOOG411 or 1(800)FREE411 to connect to businesses and residences. A trick in Britain which allows you to call the same 0800 number twice at the same time is you enter the number like this +440800… then you add the same number but starting with +44800. This is good when calling call centres as you can have the same business talking to themselves.

Use iFree Skype recorder. Its free and works perfectly.

Epic. Earthcaller is a recently discovered winrar browser based caller, a VoIP that needs no downloading; it has great call quality and gives a random US number on caller IDs. However, you must run it in Internet Explorer (or IE Tab, if you're using FF) and install the ActiveX control; also, you must go to the full URL, with the www. included.

PROTIP: For major lulz, call people and make long prank calls, earthcaller counts as long distance.

iCall is just like Skype, but free; the call quality can be sub-par at times, though, but it is a good alternative for the budget saver.it currently has a beta version where you can place calls from their website itself, maximum call duration is only for three minutes though. For money you can get better call quality, but don't bother, it's ok without it or you could pay for Skype.

It's one program with like 14 names, all pretending to be different while identical in every respect. VoIPBuster/VoIPStunt/VoIPCheap is a VoIP service that claims to have a free trial period. It CLAIMS this period is about one minute or three minutes per call, but many people go as long as 10 minutes a call without it disconnecting. Why is this? Blame shitty European program, bank error in your favor. It all seems like a fairly shady company, but the programs work fine and are good calling quality. Eventually though, it will say your account has run out of time, so uninstall and redownload, or create a new account (using a fake email address). Some report this does not work as it check agains your ip, and try doing it over a proxy or changing their MAC address. Eh, who can tell, just move onto the next identical program or buy some credit, they're cheaper than skype for international calls and some give 300 free min per week to landlines for 3 months per every top-up.

TIP: used via a hacked wifi connection and you'll be bullet-proof.

Free computer based phone service intended for use of the deaf, but is free for anyone to use. The company also will not give out IP numbers unless you're calling the white house or issuing bomb threats.

The service is slightly slow because there is a middle man - the operator. Their job is to call the target for you and reading what you type. The person on the other end is talking to the operator and the operator will type out what they are saying. The operator for the call cannot hang up on you and is required to say everything you type to them, no matter how ridiculous. Google for an IP relay and do what the site says to get started. Wait for a bit and the operator will call the number you specify. Type whenever you want to say something, then type “ga” (“go ahead”) to let the operator know you're done talking. If the target hangs up, you can request the operator to redial. A hang up button is at the bottom middle of the window if you want to hang up at any time.

*NOTE* On AIM add the buddy “My Ip Relay”, you can now make relay calls through AIM which is much more efficent then their URL. Simply Message “My Ip Relay” from fake screen name, and say Dial ###-###-####, from there it's standard Ip relay procedure.

PROTIP: Before you make a call, type this to the operator “please do not announce relay ga” The operator will not voice an FCC required script about how to use relay to your caller, allowing more time for the lulz.

This is a slow method, but an easy to do through a computer that ensures anonymity and you can make multiple calls through multiple windows to flood the target with relay calls. You'll get IP banned after a while, and if doing something stupid use a proxy, but it's easy and effortless.
