Deepak, what are you doing?

That is quite a phonebill he will receive! :oops:

...that is of course if he has to pay for every sms sent, disregard if he has some sort of talk cap (ie make $500 worth of calls but pay only $79 a month)

Are those irrational numbers? Does he get charged differently for sending an irrational number of texts?

How come an integer being an irrational number? :)
In Taiwan, many telecom companies charge NT$1.5/NT$2 per SMS. To send this amount of SMS will require a hefty amount of money (more than US$8k). However, according to the news report, he is using unlimited SMS service with fixed charge.

It's in the wrong place to be a "thousand divisor" comma, so it looked funny.
Sorry, it was a European joke, where the comma is the ango-american "point". So that would be a number with 2 points, which is not possible.

Besides that, there are only 2 digits between the commas which is kinda strange. Would make more sense if it said 1,082,689 instead of 1,82,689.

Yanks tend to use their "cell" phones to talk, so the whole SMS thing is alien to the majority.

They have phones based on cell chip? With PS3.0? :oops:

No but they do have Cell-powered hot dog makers. The ones you see on the street. How else do you think they can cook the things!!!
