Rhys Pilott from Peterborough was arrested last year for causing a public nuisance, but was let go early for displaying good behaviour.
Once released from prison, he began making hoax calls again.
Cambridgeshire Police said the 28-year-old dialled 999 and belched at call handlers more than 80 times and was arrested five times.
