Telekom Malaysia issued the World’s Record Most Expensive Phone Bill?
Filed in: Malaysia — April 13th, 2006
An MYR 806,400,000,000,000.01 (USD 218 trillion) phone bill was issued by Telekom Malaysia to a dead man.
Yahaya Wahab said he disconnected his late father’s phone line in January after he died and settled the 84-ringgit (U.S. $23) bill, the New Straits Times reported.
But Telekom Malaysia later sent him a 806,400,000,000,000.01-ringgit (U.S. $218 trillion) bill for recent telephone calls along with orders to settle within 10 days or face legal proceedings, the newspaper reported.

My two cents
“Malaysia Boleh!”
This is amazing! I suspect that Telekom Malaysia is using one of the top supercomputers for phone bill accounting.
