Loldialer

This is a horrible idea, but it must be done, or else the terrorists win.

Project Synopsis

Hhhhhhhokay, so the idea here kiddies, is to build a device that can make a call to a website or web service that can take a phone number to call and selection of what horrible audio to play for the person that recieves a call via the Twilio API, thus pranking them and invoking lulz.

Ingredients

• Arduino Uno
• Arduino Ethernet Shield
• Twilio (or Tropo I guess)
• 16x2 LCD Screen (Serial)
• Phone keypad
• Wires, lots of wires
• Breadboard (for holding resistors)
• Resistors (4 total, 5 Kohm)
• Basic Ruby web [page|service]
• Internets
• Obligatory LEDs
• Letter of legal absolution from Rick Astley and the dude that uploaded Keyboard Cat

Current choices for audio trolling

• ITS FRIDAY ITS FRIDAY
• Rickroll
• Keyboard cat
• Benny Lava
• Boxxy
• PIRATE SONG
• Bananaphone
• Trololololol
• Badger badger badger...

Use case

PLUG IT IN PLUG IT IN[to an ethernet port], thus jacking into the Matrix, choose a horrible audio file to play, then enter a victim's phone number, [somehow] tell that the user has picked up, giggle like a schoolboy, then end the call if the victim is still on the line. If purchasing a phone number from Twilio/Tropo, configure the number to robo-voice rick roll them when they return their call.

BONUS

Twilio can do transcription, so it would be cool to record what the user says when they get trolled and display it on the LCD. 9001% of the time it will probably look like this:

Hello
What the frack
FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU-

...and that will never get old.

Truly Evil Mad Scientist BONUS

Randomly generate a phone number that isn't part of an emergency service or public utility on Friday at midnight and Fridayroll it.
