What was your highest cell phone bill?

1200$.And it was once only.

Hey there Jenintn. The highest phone bill for me was $1056.32. I would never ever forget that figure, it caused me to be miserable for a whole month, by saving up and ultimately paying the bill.

$600 from texting alone? Hmm... assuming the cost of one text message is the same in your country as it is in mine, $600 divided by $0.05 makes that 12000 messages in a month!!!! That is like frigging 400 messages a day! Given that you sleep 8 hours a day, that still works out to an average of 25 messages per hour. Which is about 2 messages every minute! I am not surprised at that bill my friend. Kids now a days are using SMS like they do when using a online chat program. With one worded messages like 'K' in response to a question, it is no wonder they chalk up so much SMSs in a month! Other than budgeting her usage by using a prepaid plan, there is no way to control such rampant usage of SMSs. Cos they are not paying the bill, they will never feel the pinch!

We have 5 phones on ours. Our highest was one month when a couple of $10 charges showed up, something about putting our phone number into something on the internet. Never again!

jen, my cell is a prepaid one. my son gave it to me years ago. i very seldom ever use it because i don't go much but i am glad i have it. a $600 bill is outrageous. i'd be buying her some stamps & stationary & tell her to write a letter after she got over her injuries. lol

i had one that was like over $1,000 it was with cinglar. because they never added nation to nation plan to my phones. then i switch

$1200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I started a discussion about that bill a long time ago, but long story short, the person who ran up my bill is no longer on the plan and I talked them down to only paying $650 (still way way way to much!!!)

A bill of $600 sounds quite high to me. If I convert it at the current rate in Indian Rupees, which is Rs.42/- per dollar approximately, it will be come out 42 x 600 = Rs.25,200/-. It seems quite an exorbitant figure to me...........oh! Gosh! She must have used the phone very extensively. In Indian Rupees mine was not more than Rs. 600/- that too when I availed roaming facility meaning there by I was away from my home city and had to pay for incoming and outgoing charges at higher rates then what I pay when I am using the cell phone at my home network.

It is hard to believe that the phone bill can be quite expensive. My phone bill is not expensive at all. I tend to send SMS via the net free of charge. And my phone company gives me one hour call every month and it's enough for me. If I want to make an international call, I will call by skype. USD600 can already buy a good cellphone. I don't understand why your friend's daughter will spend so high phone bills. It's hard to believe. I love China

I have not had a high cell phone bill since my first phone back in the late 90's. The highest I ever got was $250. Which back then was a really high bill I guess. It sounds like your friend needs to get that unlimited text plan I have seen in commercials.

My highest cell phone bill was around four hundred dollars. We don't usually have this high of an amount, but we ended up going over our minutes for that month. It took us a few months to get it taken care of since we couldn't pay that bill in full for that month.

That is ridiculous!! I rarely use my phone or text so I pay my basic bill each month. If I want to contact someone, I will email them or call them. Texting takes too long. I only use it if I cannot get in touch by phone call or email and need to send an important message. If I use 2 texts per month, that is a lot.

Well Jen, if I compare my cell phone bill that she would remain far left in the Sahara Desert. If it is $600 it would be around Rs. 1200/- rupees in Indian currency. You believe I have paid Rs. 10,000/- mobile bill once. It would be $5000. Still I am a happy man.

That is very high, I think or maybe she chose the highest charge plan.

£/$0!! I don't have a cellphone and don't want one. My friend's daughter ran up a large bill once o her dad's contract mobile and it cost her all her savings! I notice that the cellphone industry over here is struggling. They just laid off 500 people from one of our big providers. Other companies will shed too I suspect.

wow that is too much... i think har har har. lucky me that i am on a pre-paid plan. i buy my cellphone load by card and i can controll on how am i going to consume it. i think that is more convinient and economical for me. the pre-paid cards came on 100 pesos, 300 pesos, 500 pesos and a thousand pesos. so 100 pesos is maybe 2.75 dollars... so far so economical.

my highest cellphone bill was 23 euro!i did use some sms ouside germany but now i am using prepaid card and my 15 euro load is enought in 3 months! i dont fan of sms i´ll wait for the calls and soemtimes using sms if it is very important.

yeah she wouldn't have the phone anymore. but the highest i had was almost a $1,000 because they didn't add nation to nation calling to my phone. so i dropped them and went with verizone.

hi jen,i am a prepaid customer and i recharge it whenever i get money or probably when my balance is 0 immediately ask my husband to recharge it for me.i have not crossed more than Rs600-Rs700 which is about $11-$12.when i got engaged at that time my hubby was working in Gulf,calls to gulf is pretty expensive nearly 5-6 months i had to spend about Rs3000 that is about $60 every month.that was the highest i have ever had.

what ? 600 dollars for texting ? horrible. if my cellphone bill goes that high, my heald would blow up ! i would rather spend that 600 on cosmetics .
