That was on AIM today like 3 days ago.
$218 Trillion US dollars.

[gouldy]

EDIT: since when did posts in the off-topic discussion forum add to your post count?

That's a whole lot of calls!

[gouldy]

musta been spending quite a long time on porn hotlines huh?

wtf? wow.

Seriously how is that even possible? I mean even if it cost $5 a minute, you'd have to be on the phone for more than a year

[gouldy]

What's funny is, that is more money than the country has in it's national vault, yet the company have told him to pay the bill within the next 10 days or face prosecution!?

They don't seriously think he has a chance in hell of finding that much money in 10 days? or infact, in ever? He's gonna have to play some major ass lottery!

Nearly all of you come from britain or Somewhere in Europe somewhere down the line anyway. [:D]

Anyways, man oh man, large phone bill. Im gonna show this to my dad, and maybe he will go easy on my sister next time she gets another ?????????250 phone bill.

IF the guy left the phone on for an entire year, he would have been paying 237823439 pounds a minute....someone in that company billing department is smoking some REALLY love up dope.

Hahaha. 125 trillion!

I really don't see the company considering a mistake a their end. Just no one can amount to this. It's nuts.

That's really freakin wierd. Must be one hell of a computer malfunction.

Here's the math. Suppose that he is making a really expensive international call... I'll say that $10 a minute would be the absolute max. That's really expensive, though. So, he's making a very expensive international call and he keeps talking and talking and talking endlessly, racking up the minutes 24/7/365. After one full year of talking, his phone bill would be up to $4 million. After 100 years, the longest possible time that anyone could be talking, his bill would still only be $400 million. So, how long would it take for him to rack up a 218 trillion dollar phone bill? Over 41 million years.

Actually it would take exactly 41 million 476 thousand 407 years, 333 days, 21 hours, and 20 minutes.

41,476,407: 333: 21: 20: 00

That's a lot of talking. There is no way that the company can say that the bill is accurate. This guy would have had to be talking on the phone at premium rates continually for 41 times as long as humans have existed.

When you say everyone is from Europe, yes, your right, I'm 100% Dutch, I was born in Holland, and both of my parents are Dutch too.

Nice calculated CJD

But I'll sure want to know what will be the outcome of the court about this [:D]

Not me! Well...part of me. But my grandfather comes from real American Indian decsent. My other side is from Britain.

So half and half booyah!



I think 10 days in jail is a small price to pay if it gets rid of 210trillion in debt.

Heck, if thats the case, can I run up 100 trillion in debt and then only spend 5 days in jail? I can take a paid vacation from work and still make money! LMAO

That's just f'd up! Mabey the in Malaysia that phone company has some ultra wacko billing system, like the longer you stay on the phone the more each minute costs.

I think you misread, he has 10 days to pay or the company will persue legal action against him.[;)]

[jayman]

maybe his dad called somewhere far far away and left the phone off the hook, for like years and years.

Maybe he was on over 27 telephone porn sites and left the phone on for several weeks.

^There is no feasible way that he could have actually racked up that big of a bill. Even if he was on 40 porno lines simultaneously, at 10 dollars a minute, it would take over a million years to rack up that much of a charge.

oh i know why it costed so much

his father called a distant planet when he was 10. and he has been talking to aliens 41 million light years away for 70 some odd years. the company never billed him, until his father died.

[jayman]

like he called allll they way around the world, so far that he was actually talking to his next door nieghbor , but the call went the wrong direction....
