The advent of caller ID has greatly reduced the number of obscene phone calls.
Has it? Sources, stats? I guess it seems reasonable, but so do a number of things. --Charles A. L. 20:38, Dec 16, 2003 (UTC)
- I've removed that. I'm going to try and rewrite this in a more coherent manner. 68.39.174.238 13:58, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Class 1 Misdemeanor
This article should mention that making obscene phone calls is a Class 1 Misdemeanor in various states, including Arizona and Virginia. I researched this today, because of personal reasons. (Someone wouldn't let me sleep! Argh!) A Class 1 Misdemeanor is the most severe misdemeanor, and its punishment can include a hefty fine and six months in prison. --Rika95 22:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Paranoid Ramblings?
Removed some nonsense posted in all caps.
[edit] Sexual?
I have a problem with the opening sentence: "An obscene phone call is an unsolicited telephone call where a person derives sexual pleasure by using sexual or foul language to an unknown person." It implies that obscene phone calls are always for sexual pleasure, what about people who are simply using hateful or foul language or doing other 'obscene' things that are no way sexually related? For example, a call made by a swearing drunk to someone for a legitimate purpose would be considered a obscene call (as they had a purpose to call rather than to simply annoy it's hard to consider it a prank call). --118.210.204.143 (talk) 12:33, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
