It’s a little hard to believe, but yes, there’s an actual prank service via the Internet! It’s not dangerous or anything– it’s actually kind of cute and silly. It’s the Cardfish Phone call service. Basically, you send an e-card to a friend, and at some time during the card viewing, a telephone service is activated, causing your friend’s phone to ring during the viewing of the card.
Cardfish is marketing this new kind of personalized greeting card/messaging service. The electronic cards are short video clips, and you can add your custom, personalized greeting or message. When your friend opens the card to view it, the Cardfish service is alerted and sends a tekephone call to your friend at the precise point in the video. For example, there’s an e-card with presidential clips like “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” The card then asks if you are ready to answer the call. And the phone rings! lol!
Some of the videos are extremely risque, I thought. Not appropriate at all. Others were cute or funny. But this is not a site I’d send the kids. And the selection at Cardfish needs some variety. Right now it’s geared toward the 20s/30s crowd. I suppose this is perhaps because that’s the age group that does the most pranks? Haha!
Anyway, Cardfish is having a promotion. Enter the word FREE and you can try the service out.
