See. This is what you get for calling Jupiter and walking away from the phone for a hour

They know he can't pay that. So they know they have to bring him to court. This is really stupid. No one can pay 218 trillion dollars.

Its amazing that such a bill was ever made though. I hope I never get one of those

It stinks that they don't give a reason why the bill is so high. They coud've just said "some guy in Malaysa got a 218 trillion dollar bill to pay, the end," with as little info as they gave about that.

Convert that to rupiah and you'll get:

1,962,000,000,000,000,000 rupiah

Can someone help me read that? 0:)

1 quintillion, 962 quadrillion rupiah.

And wow, that's a big phone bill. Phone companies are idiots though. I mean, there is no possible way a phone bill could be that high.

Even if you walk away from the phone for years, I doubt you'll get such an amount... :roll:

What if you called people across the world on mobile phones on hundreds of lines?

What do they expect to gain by going to court? It's not as if he has 218 trillion dollars.

How many zeros is that anyways? Isn't that twelve zeros? o.O

I won't even spend that much on shoes in my entire lifetime. And that is saying something.

Does 218 trillion dollars even exist?? o.O

This sorta sounds like the guy who cheated on the betting slip for loads of christmas football games by putting the winnings for each of the games on the next one. He bet 1 pound and ended up more money than is in the bank of England.
