Very sad to hear someone bought a phone number just bcoz it has 7 same digits for 2.8 million dollars.

I think people now these days don't know what to do with there money anymore.

That is a nice move... To buy such a number :-)

Half of the world now knows that somebody bought it and has a lot of money. Maybe I should give him a call.. ;-)
