From the link:

"But Telekom Malaysia later sent him a 806,400,000,000,000.01 ringgit ($218 trillion) bill for recent telephone calls along with orders to settle within 10 days or face legal proceedings, the newspaper reported.

It wasn't clear whether the bill was a mistake, or if Yahaya's father's phone line was used illegally after after his death.
"

The last statement is odd. How could you possibly create a bill that size making any amount of "recent" phone calls?

Crazy. My phone bill always stays the same. I have no long distance on it and not extra services.. I use a prepaid Cell phone to and keep my conversations short.

I'm thinking about switching over to a pre-paid phone. Right now I have a monthly service plan but I most often times, I do not use up all my minutes and feel like the $50 monthly charge I'm paying is a waste. Which company one do you use? In terms of cost breakdown, I've heard that it can be as low as .30 cents/ min. What is your personal prefernce Garbru? Do you buy a pre-paid card with 100 min or 5 cards with 20 min each?

$50 is cheap for a phone. You would only get 166 minutes for that at .30 a minute (which is a ripoff).


166 minutes isn't much. Give me the monthly plan where I can use it as much as I want with no fear of every going over, no long distance and no roaming.

Maybe the old guy had dial-up and was plagued with auto-dialers after visiting porn sites.
