World's Most Expensive Mobile Number

(from digg)

The world's most expensive phone number was auctioned for charity yesterday in Qatar.

The number, 666 6666, sold for 10 millions Qatari riyals or £1.5 millions.

he previous record holder was Chinese number 8888 8888, which sold for £270,000. The Cantonese word for eight sounds very similar to the word for rich. It was bought by Sichuan Airlines.

The auction started at a million riyals and interest quickly narrowed from eight bidders to just two, according to Kuwaiti News Agency (KUNA).

The auction was organised by national telco Qtel, which has run two previous auctions and plans to run another in January. We tried phoning Qtel for more details, but they'd all gone home because it was 6pm...

Having seven sixes as your mobile number might seem devilish to some, but interpretations vary. A brief dip into the weird world of numerology shows 666 is seen as holy in Judaism because it represents six directions - up, down, north, south, east and west. Others equate it with the Arabic word "ellah" meaning God.

On a techy note, the first Apple Computer sold for $666.66, the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is w - so www. shows how evil the internet is. And finally, Viagra has a molecular weight of 666.7g/mol.

lol what a co-incidence, i have similar number, but in PAKISTAN. So after reading this post im feeling rich ... but not smooth.

anyhow coming back to topic; Yesterday I went to Hafeez Centre , A shopkeper was selling 0333-8777777 for Rs 115,000.

similarly i saw many nos like 0333-3444490 & 0345-4545451 for around Rs 25,000 to Rs 40,000.

I asked a shopkeeper of famous number selling outlet at HC that what is the most expensive no. that he had..... he told me that one number 0333-4000000 has been offered Rs 3 lacs.

Feeling my surprise & curiosity he showed me some numbers that he recently sold for around Rs 30-35K. A little survey revealed that there are many factors to judge the worth of a mobile number.

- First the prefix codes 0300, 0333, 0321 are considered expensive as compared to others e.g, 0306, 0331, 0322
- Then the number of similar digits are considered like tripple, tetra, penta,
- Similarly number of combinations occuring together like 4545450 or 6216210.
- The number in a sequence are also special like 4567788.
- Special combinations are also expensive like 4437860 or 4204201

Pak is no doubt making blazing progress in telecom sector
6 years back,,, main charm was to get a mobile connection..... now the competition has shifted to new direction... now a person is known by the mobile number he keeps
