Yes, I know it’s hard to believe this but at Qatar somebody paid nearly 3 million US dollars to get the mobile phone number he wanted. The magical number is 6666666. I guess you can call this as an extreme way to personalize a phone, tough I can come up with way more cheaper ways to pimp my mobile.

To make things perfect, I think that a number this expensive needs a mobile to match in price and quality, meaning Vertu (yet another very nice website).

Vertu is available in several editions, but the best models comes with platinum casing, diamonds on pads, saphire crystal display etc. fun stuff you can spend a fortune. And most importantly, Vertu has a button that connects you to a 24 hour concierge service all around the world. This is a mobile phone every busy business manager needs.

If anything, this mobile phone number is doomed to receive prank calls and all the nasty stuff people come up with. However I think that blocking unwanted calls gets easy when you pay this high figures to get a new mobile phone number…. On the positive side, the income from the auction will go to charity.
