219 trillion dollar phone bill

Yahaya Wahib received a phone bill for £125 trillion ($219 trillion) from Telekom Malaysia, reports Ananova.

"He was told he had to pay up within 10 days or face prosecution.

The bill was for the phone line of his father, who died in January reports New Straits Times. Mr Wahib had that line disconnected and settled the outstanding 84 ringgit (£13 or $23).

Mr Wahib said: "If the company wants to seek legal action, I'm ready to face it. In fact, I can't wait to face it."

A company official said Telekom Malaysia was looking into the case."
