Actually your right...one of those islands would be very nice aswell.
Just imagine though for someone who can fork out 2.8 Million just for a phone number..just how much money must that person really have?

More money than Rwanda, certainly...

Yeah I saw this.
It "WAS" on Widgx afterall.

the person that owns this phone no. has probably had to block all people other than the people they know! - to be honest...i'd much rather have a normal phone number....i can still remember it - and....that 2.8 million dollars (!!!!!!!!), could have been spent...ALOT better. and if i had 2.8million dollars to spare...i definately would not have spent it on that! - i've got a pile of free-sim-cards in me cupboard...so buying one...is stupid! - definately when its that over priced! ha!

people forget, that it wasn't about the number.
It was all for charity.
