Prank calling

May 23rd, 2006

I remember — sorely so — the days when prank-calling cost an awful lot of money that would end up on your mom’s phone bill and lead to some awkward moments where, somehow, you just couldn’t come up with any good excuses.

For better or worse, recent (somewhat involuntary) WordPress convert Nommie explains how to do it for free, in the US and Canada, using the free-until-at-least-the-end-of-the-year SkypeOut offer. Better yet, his guide takes care of the recording as well.

Skype has been very gracious to us all by allowing free calling to anywhere in the US and Canada. Many see this as great step forward for telecommunications. I see this as an opportunity to be devious.

Your Own Thoughts

I'd love to hear your input. Just try to stick to a few rules:

Please, think before you post. It's not a chatroom — you have plenty of time to avoid gratuitous abbreviations (no "u" for "you", please) and to proofread. Everyone benefits from comments which have had an extra minute of thinking.
Though I virtually never delete a comment, I do reserve the right to do so for ones I deem irrelevant, unthoughtful, as trolling or as flaming, or otherwise hostile.
Unfortunately, you cannot currently edit. When necessary, do feel free to double-post; I will merge your posts together, and correct mistakes for you if you so wish.
Likewise, you cannot delete. You can, however, ask me to do it by contacting me. Please only do so if truly necessary.
I reserve the right not to approve comments with bogus names or e-mail addresses, but will typically leave them published as well.

Before you comment for the first time (or, after you have deleted cookies), you will have to answer a little challenge to prove that you are not a spammer.

Comments are written in Markdown.
