Mobile Phones: Empowering Stupid Rich People Everywhere

Posted by Russell Buckley on 05.24.06 | Comment?

Proving that criminals aren’t the only people to be challenged by mobile technology, a man has paid a record amount for a mobile phone number. He paid $2.75 million for the number 666-6666 in Doha Qatar.

Did you get that number? That’s right everyone - it was 666-6666. I wonder how many prank, crank and just curious phone calls this guy will get? That number is next to useless now.

Well, at least the money goes to charity. The dialing code for Doha Qatar is 974, in case you were wondering, for some reason.
