Folk ringde för att skoja med andra och trodde att de inte kunde bli ertappade. Det var ganska utbrett ett tag. Men jag minns att det gick att spåra upp dessa okynnesringare och sedan förmana dem att sluta.- Yes, prank calls became popular . People called to prank others, thinking they couldn't get caught.
