Thats nuts!! I bet somebody had to have made a mistake on the bill, there's no way anybody can make $218 trillion worth of phone calls in 3 months

That has to be some kind of scam! :eek: Isn't there some specific area code (809 IIRC from an email alert) that when dialed results in some rediculous amount of per-minute charge....like $25 / minute? This scam thrived for awhile, but even at $25 per minute it would take forever to accrue a toll in the trillions.

rapper mike jones had a phone bill close to a quarter mil, at first it was a rumor and some sites posted links as an april fools joke but when interviewed he said it was very close to reality,

Some 809s are legit!
I use to call them sometimes when my check was late,
It came from Santa Domingo I believe it was
Only cost $1 / minute or so

218T is more than that country is worth :D
Are we even worth 218T?
Every one of 'em is a thousand billions and every billion is a thousand millions
I think in some countries there is only one hundred M in a B and one hundred B in a T

Is that europe?




Whatever this little country was where this joker lives,
Are there 100 or 1000 Ms in a B ?
