Mine was around $700. Talked to my gf who lives in Malaysia......for the first time so I didn't know how to dial to an international number.....so I was "smart" enough to call the operator to assist me to connect the call.... and talked for about 8 hours. sigh. all of that was just 1 call.
 
My roommate once racked up a cell phone bill of $700 bucks

My wifes cousin racked up over $2000 calling the psychic hotline. He didn't realize that it was "For Entertainment Purposes Only." He has decided that he will pay them $25 a month until it is payed off... when his great-grandchildren are old and gray.

Hey John,
How's Texas?
 
$800 seems our internet connection phone number got screwed up and the company wouldnt pay for it even though they switched numbers without us knowning about it... another reason we switched to cable
 
$954.00 years ago. On my Dad's phone bill.
Long distance ISP charges. Calling Home --> ISP = Long Distance. Calling ISP --> Home NOT long distance. Damn Bellsouth. :disgust:

Indeed...although this was an ISP problem too since the number was supposed to be local or were told so. Anyway, we racked up a bill over $1000 dollars because I leave my internet connection running regardless of it being a 28.8 modem. Anyway it only took maybe 5 days, and then they hit us with the bill... Needless to say my parents hit the roof....
 
My old roommate racked up over $1,000 on the phone(not a cell phone, mind you) that was in my name. He paid off most of it, but still stuck me with about $150 in phone bills when we moved out.
 
Most for me was about $125.00 for my SprintPCS phone about two years ago. Damn wireless web games and being bored at work.
 
My highest was about $130 on my Sprint cell phone... I went over big time on my $34.95 plan by talking to my g/f while I was vacationing in Hawaii. Time zone differences didn't help as when it was time for my evening minutes, it was already like 12AM back here.

😱
 
About $1500US for long distance phone bill.

This was just after I first met my wife and she was in Australia and I was back in the US.
Unfortunately, this was also over 5 years ago and before the shockingly cheap international rates of today.
