Hindsight · 10-29-2003, 10:02 AM

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

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

KRL · 10-29-2003, 10:12 AM

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.

BlackCrayon · 10-29-2003, 10:40 AM

i had a bill of 400 some odd dollars a month for a few months. no business, just personal. long distance to california. 10 cents a minute.

JamesK · 10-29-2003, 10:43 AM

at least more than 1000$

Brad-Wishing · 10-29-2003, 10:46 AM

Switch to Excel.

voodooman · 10-29-2003, 10:59 AM

My cell was running around 500 then last month 1200.
Im on nextel, and they have a unlimited plan, so I switched
to that for 200/month.

Sweet!!!
