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 was reported he was devastated as he expected the bill to be around 100 bucks and it turned out to be about 20k :1orglaugh

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

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!!!

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

$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!
