Materials: Cell Phone This one is so simple, but we love it just the same… a real mental hotfoot. Many cell phones have greeting banners on them that you can personalize to say whatever you want them to and it stays on there when you're not using your phone. Also, when there is no service where you are, most cell phone companies have a banner that pops up on your screen saying "no service". Put the two together and you’ve got a great prank…
Simply get a hold of someone's cell phone and change the greeting banner to say "NO SERVICE"… this can usually be done through the “settings” area of the phone where you can change things like the wall paper, ring tones, etc. Every time the victim picks up their phone to make a call, they’ll see no service and go off on a hunt to find a better signal. Sure, they could check the signal bars, but that will take them a good 10 – 15 minutes to figure out.
