    It was $5000 or 6000 when I was 16, I liked to call Psychic friends!

    Now my bill is like $900 every month for all 13 lines I have.

                when I lived with my parents it was 'free', and now I pay about 15 bucks for my mobile phone bill per month and a small amount for another phone line that I share with 9 other people

                                      I read about this English soldier in the gulf war.. he had a video mms phone and spoke to his girlfriend on it every day for 3 hours over 6 months!! From Iraq to England!!!

                                      It was reported he was devastated as he expected the bill to be around 100 bucks and it turned out to be about 20k

                                              Often times I wonder why
                                              There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                                              When sickness comes I must decide:
                                              When feelings go, theres suicide.

                                                you may want to shift to VoIP, fix rate of $40/mon to US and Canada.

                                                  The rates are so damn low now its pretty hard to run up a big bill. But in the old days if you did a lot of international business calls you could easily go into 4 figures a month.

                                                  In my 20's, when rates used to be be outrageous, and you could only dial long distance through a handful of companies, I was VP Sales for a telemarketing company with 200 marketers online at any time of the day calling nationwide. Our phone bill averaged about $200,000 a month. We generated about $3 Mil a month in sales so it was about 7% of our revenues.
