Spotted at the 2012 Big Boys Toys in Dubai few days ago. A modest and empty booth, with a small round table and two chairs, and the above cardboard displaying unique mobile numbers. Curiously I approached the lonely guy standing next to the cardboard to know more. Apparently these are exclusive mobile numbers from Kazakhstan with international roaming, and claims that the last number- the one consisting of 7s only- is the most exclusive number on the planet. It's an extra super unique mobile number. The price-tag for the top three is around $500,000. But if that's not crazy enough, the last number is offered for $7,000,000. That's Seven. Million. Dollars!
That extra super unique number is waiting for an extra super stupid person to buy.
i even don't finish to read this post but thought - it is so stupid thing to pay this amount for number...
ReplyDeletesomehow depressing...
I cannot comprehend why anybody with $7M to spare on a cell phone number, would want to purchase that number? Can you even imagine the crazy calls the dude / dudette could receive, because every Looney tune out there now knows the cell number has been "sold" to a potential moneybag?
ReplyDelete*sigh*!
@ deros - Stupid thing indeed. Funny though, not depressing.
ReplyDelete@ Rosh - True. For that price, the sim-card should at least come with a personal assistant whose main job is to answer crazy and prank calls.
