The legal classifications for frequent, inappropriate phone calls range from harassment to stalking. So, it starts out as harassment. A prank phone call here or there. It's nothing serious but it's annoying. As it continues over a longer period of time or the frequency increases, it becomes a more serious misdemeanor and once it poses a threat, it is a felony.
The penalties for these crimes vary as well from 15 days in jail to 4 years and a hefty fine.
Calling can be a crime. It's not all fun and games. And intention does not weigh heavier than actions in this case.
