Wide World of Pranks: Phone Pranks
Telephone * Star Codes
Many a successful phone prank might start with knowing the Bell Telephone Star Codes. These codes are in use on land lines in the US and any other country that has adopted them.
These also work with most cellular phones. However, you may want to check with the provider for more information.
*57: Call Trace
This is a great feature that lets you find out the most recent number that has called you.
To use: dial *57
*77: Anonymous Call Rejection
If someone is attempting to call you and their caller ID is blocked, you can stop them from calling unless they unblock their number. It's also useful if you are going to call someone on a phone that may have the feature turned on. I have no idea what you are planning. But this is how you activate and deactivate the feature:
To turn on feature: dial *77
To turn off the feature: dial *87
*67: Block an outgoing call
For a number of very good reasons, you may want to block the number you are calling from. Dialing *67, then the number will allow you to do that for one phone call. It's very useful if you want to call up someone and chew their ass out.
To use: dial *67 000-000-0000
