I friend of mine changed his colleagues phone so it used an arabic (or similer) character set. Took him ages to get it back as he couldn't read the menus to change it back to english

mwo ha haone of the girls in my class at high school did that to me [ dutch or sommit] luckily i knew the restore lanuage code for my model.
unfortunately for her she didn't know one for her's and she couldn't speak greek. the menus were text based [few years back now] so she went in the huff wae me for ages. which was a shame because she was(is much more so now) hot

My mateset the welcome message on his gran's new mobile to "This phone will explode in 5 seconds". When she first saw the message, she screamed and dropped it into a sink-full of washing up.
He has to buy her a new phone, but says it was worth it.

I did that......but I changed it to Dutch, then panicked, turned it off, and managed to lock it when I discovered it had a PIN number on the start-up thing.
I hid it for the rest of the week, and then gave it to her when she left.
So it's not actually a practical joke, more like something really stupid that i didn't mean to do.
