World's most evil phone number is also most expensive
posted May 24th 2006 12:30PM
We understand the value in having an easy-to-remember phone number. We also understand the perceived value, for some, in having a number containing "666." But for 10 million riyals? That's what Qatar's national carrier Qtel netted for the number 666 6666 in a charity auction Monday, which works out to about $2.7 million by our rough calculation. Seems an awful lot to pay for the privilege of making a dark pact with the demons that rule the cellular underworld. There's enough black magic involved keeping our smartphones running smoothly as it is -- we don't need the added stress of fire, brimstone, and sacrificial lambs. Call us superstitious, we won't be making any prank calls to this guy (or girl, or beast). But if you do -- Qatar's country code is 974 -- let us know you're safe, m'kay?

i wanted 069-6969 or 666-1313 but i dont know how to do it and its not worth the money and the prank calls i would recieve
Funny, if you Google the phone-number-of-the-beast with a Boston area code (617-666-6666), you get a real estate agency.
Thats ridiculous. I used to have the phone number 666-3366 until I moved to another state. And I could have been a millionaire for it instead of giving it back? Dammit. I should have tried eBay...
Shite! I just dialed DC (201) 666 6666 and a guy called Dick answered.
