    They all say that. No one will actually go to the hassle of calling the police for a prank caller unless you were excessively overdoing it. I suggest using Skype, that's what I do. The number will show up as Unknown or something similar, so they can't trace it even if they try.

    I doubt she knew who you were. The most the police can do if they find out is issue a warning lol. Unless the calls were offensive/obscene.

    well she was just trying to scare ya, if she did ring the police they prob wont give much crap unless you made a death treat, or call them a lot of times

    Causing a news-worthy incident is illegal, calling 911 or any other emergency is illegal.
