Next time your phone bill causes your eyes to water, spare a thought for a customer in Malaysia.
Yahaya Wahib has just been landed with a bill from Telekom Malaysia for £125 trillion.
That's more than the country has in its national vault.
Mr Wahib was so shocked, he was rendered speechless when he got the final demand to pay up within 10 days or face prosecution.
The bill was for the phone line of his father, who died in January.
Mr Wahib had that line disconnected and settled the outstanding bill for 84 ringgit (£13).
But Telekom Malaysia then billed him for 806,400,000,000,000.01 ringgit for more recent telephone calls.
But Mr Wahib is not hung up on it and is ready to fight.
"If the company wants to seek legal action, I'm ready to face it," he said.
"In fact, I can't wait to face it."
A company official said Telekom Malaysia was looking into the case.
