PrankDial is a prank calling website owned by KickBack (formerly TapFury). It allows users to send pre-recorded pranks to any phone number in the United States, Canada, Spain, and Italy.[1]
History
PrankDial was started in 2010 by Fahim Saleh while he was in high school.[2][3] Saleh eventually led a team to work on the site under the name KickBack in Brooklyn, New York and Bangladesh.[4] The site occasionally hires voice actors to record new pranks.[5]
In 2016, PrankDial's website was revamped with a new logo and layout.
Features
Users are allowed to send two free calls a day, but when the user is logged into Facebook, he or she receives three free calls instead of two. The user can also send the call from someone else's number and record the reaction.
