Man Gets $218 Trillion Phone Bill

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - A Malaysian man said he nearly fainted when he recieved a $218 trillion phone bill and was ordered to pay up within 10 days or face prosecution, a newspaper reported Monday.

Yahaya Wahab said he disconnected his late father"s phone line in January after he died and settled the 84 ringgit ($23) bill, the New Straits Times reported.

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.

"If the company wants to seek legal action as mentioned in the letter, I"m ready to face it," the paper quoted Yahaya as saying. "In fact, I can"t wait to face it," he said.

Yahaya, from northern Kedah state, received a notice from the company"s debt-collection agency in early April, the paper said. Yahaya said he nearly fainted when he saw the new bill.

Government-linked Telekom Malaysia Bhd. is the country"s largest telecommunications company.

A company official, who declined to be identified as she was not authorized to speak to the media, said Telekom Malaysia was aware of Yahaya"s case and would address it. She did not provide further details.

lol but seriously even if he was on phone sex for 24/7 for 365 days a year there is no way in hell that equals 218 trillion

This is like the most retarded thing I have read in a while. Thats impossible for one man to run a bill that high. All those people working at that company should be shot.

It's a new strategy of saving one's business, or a subtle hint of saying to the public that the company is bankrupt.

im sure he's bill of $23 will be free after this problem is solve.

wow.. thats a lot of money.

No way, how is that possible? Was he like Talking to meloboy all day or somethin

He was having multiple phone conversations with you, Meloboy, and Shaun. Don't deny it.

No I stopped after I got the bill of 1 triillion dollars

not even bill gates can afford this bill

No I stopped after I got the bill of 1 triillion dollars

See, that's still manageable.

hahaha... the bill would need a little bit of paper stuck on the edge to hold all the 0's

Id love to get a bill like that, just to frame it and laugh at the phone company all day

That guy seriously needs to change his phone plan-what is it like 10million for connection then a million a minute

Even then, he would have to be on for (roughly) 415 years...consecutive.

wow hopefully he never joins this forum because such a chatterbox would spam this forum until it explodes

thats almost as scary as that huge ass snake

Probably just some mistake... How stupid...

It won't happen because the position of head spammer is already taken by Jugs.

that proves it's a mistake theres no way his plan is that bad and even if it is he can't have been on the phone non stop for 415 years

True, he'd probably need to take a least a couple of bathroom breaks during that span.
