A Collection of 15 Funny Random Numbers to Call

1 Call Jenny's Number: 867-5309

If you've ever heard the humming of "867-5309/Jenny," you're definitely not the only one. People have been calling that number out of pure curiosity for years.

Depending on your area code, you might end up reaching a business that grabbed the number on purpose, or someone who's just REALLY tired of being asked if they're Jenny. Either way, you might try calling it yourself for a little harmless fun.

2 The Rejection Hotline: 605-475-6968

If someone walks up to you uninvited and asks for your number, but you're not interested, it's time to show this rejection hotline to their faces.

Just write the number down on a piece of paper and give it to them. This rejection hotline will reject them on YOUR behalf. Sounds deserve to try and it's not too rude. Just... blunt.

3 Santa Claus Hotline: 951-262-3062

Now, Santa never said that his work schedule was only within December. So, this is a number you can give to your kids so they can leave a message for the old man at any time of the year.

The Santa Claus hotline actually lets kids leave a Christmas list and to leave a phone call. And the recording also includes a very jolly greeting from Santa himself. He might sound like a DJ guy from when he's not in the North Pole, but just for another day, your kids will be happy either way.

4 The Hall & Oates Hotline: 719-266-2837

Are you a Hall & Oates fan? If you are, good for you. And if you aren't, well, you will be now. Because the Hall & Oates Emergency Hotline is for your 80s pop cravings.

So when you dial this number, a computer, so many maybe, will tell you to press a number for a specific song. There are 4 selections, as of 2025.

5 The Loser Line: 206-569-5829

The Loser Line has a pretty interesting backstory because it was originally made by a radio station for the listeners so they could report bad dates.

This is both comedy and a little sad sometimes, but you can call this number to hear recordings of dating stories that will make you cringe and make you feel like your love life is actually a lot better than you think it is.

6 The Joke Line: 605-475-6964

If you don't find the jokes of people around you not funny anymore, or if your dad isn't doing his dad jokes so well, maybe it's time to outsource it to professional jokers.

When you call the joke line, this number delivers a different joke every time you call. Some of them are so funny that you might stumble over laughing, and some of them are so bad that they're funny. It's like a stand-up comedian on call, and you don't have to pay for the tickets.

7 The Bad Breath Checker: 605-475-6959

There's a hilarious hotline called the Bad Breath Checker. What it does is pretty obvious in its name, but of course, it can't actually smell anything through your phone.

But this line pretends to analyze your breath through the phone. Thank goodness that we don't have that technology yet. But the recording will suggest that you have a breath that could kill flowers (literally). But don't worry, it's all in good fun. Just don't use it as a substitute for actual dental hygiene.

8 The "It Could Always Suck More" Line: 605-475-6967

As we already mentioned before in "The Loser Line," sometimes a little comparison is all we need (or a lot. When you call "It Could Always Suck More," they tell you exactly the things that suck way more than whatever you're going through. Great—now not only you're worried about your own issues, but Susan's as well.

9 The Harry Potter Fan Line: 605-475-6961

If you're still holding out hope for your Hogwarts letter, this number might help ease the wait. It plays quotes and sound bits from the movie.

You don't need to be a wizard to call, but knowing a spell or two doesn't hurt. Like… Wingardium LeviOsa-

10 The Divorce Hotline: 605-475-6960

Not planning a divorce? Not married? Not even a boyfriend? Call this number anyway. The pre-recorded message jokes about many reasons people get divorced for.

Now, depending on your situation, you may find this extremely funny... or you might sit in the living room awkwardly with your partner. Just hope that the reasons don't resonate with you (terrible pun right there).

11 Keep An Idiot Entertained: 401-285-2079

No, seriously. If you call this number, it'll keep you busy with an endless loop of instructions that seem to never stop. We're not sure if you want to try this out yourself, but you can definitely give this number to your friends or siblings to annoy them. Might as well test their patience and intelligence in the process.

12 The Kids Pep-Talk: 707-873-7862

We all need a little encouragement every now and then, but unfortunately not all of us can afford a Ted talk.

Introducing… Peptoc! Yes, it's spelled that way, and yes, it's recorded by kids in kindergarten through 6th grade students from West Side Elementary in Healdsburg, California.

It offers pre-recorded messages of encouragement and positivity (so cute!). Adults and kids can call it alike—because who couldn't use a reminder that they're doing just fine?

13 Infamous Second Son's Number: 844-435-7387

Fans of the video game "Infamous Second Son" might recognize this Easter egg.

But Sucker Punch (the devs) once set up a real phone line at 1-844-HELP-DUP, where fans could hear a message from Infamous Second Son's "Brooke Augustine" a little about the storyline.

It doesn't work anymore, but it was a fun little Easter egg and a cool example of interactive storytelling.

14 Outsource Friendship Hotline: 605-475-6966

When your real friends are busy or your social battery is fussed, this number offers you human connection without the commitment.

The pre-recorded message pretends to be interested in your day without asking for anything in return. It's convenient at your lowest—or troubling, depending on your perspective.

15 The Sobriety Test Hotline: 605-475-6958

Not sure if you should call your ex after those three margaritas? (just don't.) This hotline gives you tongue-twisters and brain teasers to test your current state of mind.

Not that it'll actually stop you from calling your ex, but at least you'll know if you're sober enough to make good choices in the first place. I like to think of it as a friend giving a reality check.

What to Keep in Mind When Calling Random Numbers

Respect People's Privacy

Some of these numbers might actually end up belonging to real people if they're not working at hotlines anymore. So while this may seem like harmless fun to you, it could be annoying to someone else.

So, in this case, keep calm, breathe, be polite, and apologize if you have disrupted whatever they were doing. Don't call random combinations of numbers. Better stick to numbers specifically designed for entertainment purposes, like the ones we have mentioned above.

Don't Break Laws

Prank calling people might sound fun and all, but if you keep doing it again and again to someone, it's called harassment. And we all know that's illegal.

Also, using services that hide your number when you make pranks calls fall under the violation of telecommunication laws. We're supposed to have light fun, not cause people distress.

Alternatives to Random Calling

If you're looking for novel phone interactions, consider:

• Using apps or sites designed for anonymous conversations with willing participants.
• Participating in phone-based games and experiences.
• Calling interactive hotlines made specifically for fun.

Wrapping Up

It seems like no matter how much time passes, we're always looking for a little fun when we're bored. Back then, it was landline calls—now it's all about quirky smartphone hotlines.

Luckily, we've got plenty of numbers out there that offer harmless entertainment. Turns out, some of these numbers can actually be useful, while others are just for kicks.

For example, if you need to let someone down easily, you might try a rejection hotline. Or if you want to keep your brain busy, check out the sobriety test hotline—it's a fun one if you're into puzzles and riddles.

Can I use random phone numbers to call friends for fun?

Elsa

If you're referring to masking your number, then no. Besides, it's better to call actual entertainment hotlines anyway. 

What should I do if I receive a prank call?

Elsa

Hang up. Talking to the caller signals encouragement. For repeated problematic calls, block the number or report it to local authorities for serious cases.

Are prank calls legal?

Elsa

Depends. One-time, harmless calls are generally not prosecuted, but repeated calls to the same number can be counted as harassment.

What is the funniest prank number I can call?

Elsa

Humor is subjective, but Hall & Oates Hotline is not. The Rejection Hotline serves just as well when you have to use it for real. For kids though, the Santa Claus Hotline seems like a better option.
