Teen dies over phone bill.

I feel like slitting some throats as well whenever I receive my Telkom bill. Needless to say, not my own.
 
well who the hell is going to blow R27000 on a phone... what the hell was he doing? U would have to be on the phone for a long time to get that bkind of bill.
 
Sorry, but I don't blame the cell company in the least. Whether prices or high or not, one still has to responsible enough to know that they can only spend so much on a phone bill, so they can only make so many calls. The fact that the cost of the calls is so high, is another issue.
 
wtf was he talking about on the phone for R27000 :confused: lets say call costs were reduced by a factor of 4, that would still mean a bill of close to R7000. it's his own responsilibilty (or lack thereof), afterall theres only so much one can say on the phone, why not just got meet the damn person. unless he was a porn addict subscribing to those late night e-tv ads :rolleyes:

In that case he should have gotten ADSL :D hahaha
 
on the one hand, yeah, cell company costs blah blah blah - on the other hand,
good, the human race lost another moron. I don't see NASA's space program suffering any setbacks because of this.
:P
 
makes you wonder how Stupid this person was to kill himself because of a phonebill, let-alone run it up like that!

I look forward to seeing this one in the Darwin awards! (but somehow i wonder if it will make it because there was nothing spectacular about how he did his deed!)
 
Well, im pretty sure he must have had some addiction (with maybe a touch of depression), so he was sick, and when he finally realized (woke up to) the extent of the problem, it overwhelmed him and he didn't see much of a way out/to solve the problem.

Poor guy.
