What was your highest phone bill ever?
 

?

It was $5000 or 6000 when I was 16, I liked to call Psychic friends! :1orglaugh

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

Verizon 0wnz me :Oh crap

that's huge! I've never had a phone bill higher than 20 bucks

WTF? How?? Basic... no caller ID or anything service is $36 plus tax here in NY. I have unlimited everything for one low price on all my lines now... but back in the day it used to be itemized for everything. $20? :1orglaugh That's fuckin funny... Must be nice!

$2500 when dsl wasnt available... dailup all the way brrrrrr

I had a $1700 water bill a few months ago.

$300. i was 20, and i had just moved from long beach. i was calling my friends all the time. since then, i havent had a phonebill that high.

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

just the type of person i would hire as well.

$303 cell phone bill last month

thanks nextel :mad:

Why do you have 13 phone lines?

:eek7

832.00$

its all fun and games when you get reimbursed tho :1orglaugh

No broadband in my area except my imitation broadband satellite that only downloads fast. So all my PCs have their own dial up connection :glugglug

it seems you missed the whole point of the thread...
see topic :thumbsup

$136,000

Edit: Just so nobody cries foul, I used to run a national ISP with thousands of phone lines, they tend to run a few bucks.

that's crazy...

Wow.. my bill seems rediculously small now!

:1orglaugh

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 :1orglaugh

46 euros

$1,300 and that was with for 4 lines and fax. We did alot of business over seas then.

50.00 every month

prob spent $2,000 in long distance

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

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.

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.

at least more than 1000$

Switch to Excel.

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!!!

There are a LOT of better deals than Expel... er... Excel.

I pay my local phone company $49.95 per month for unlimited local and long distance, and the price also includes voicemail and caller ID.

Ouch! I hope that had a large profit attached to it!

I don't really think it is worthy of it's own thread....do you?

My highest bill was 1600 Dutch Guilders ($800) but that
was in my "early" internet days. I just discovered
it and everything was new :)

I use to visit a freenet site in amsterdam called
"de digitale stad" "The Digital City" the freenet
stuff is over now they are now a regular ISP

It's one cent a mnute in peek hours now to call from the Netherlands to a mobile number in the US, unbelievable.

For the dutch who want to know where: www.bel1601.nl

wow, we don't have that here

Excel has 12 features with their plan - I think its 59.99

Pretty sweet deal

Over $7000!!!

My ex and I broke up (she dropped my ass). So, I was calling instate Louisiana from Shreveport to New Orleans for about 4 hours/day on several calling cards! This was back in like '94 . MCI, AT&T, and Sprint OWNED MY ARS!!

About $6000 when I was 13... I got caught PBXing... whoops...

$800 cell phone bill last january when I was at Internext. My plan did not allow me calls in the US and every message and call I made cost me an arm and a leg.

Also my phone bill with the casino was over $800 because I was dialing up to Canada to login! LOL!

Dumb dumb dumb!!!! I know!

I now have a North American Calling plan and dial up access. :thumbsup

DH
