Woman receives trillion of phone bill

A French woman fell on her seat upon seeing her phone bill amounting to a denomination that even her country can't afford.


Solenne San Jose, from Pessac in the Bordeaux region of southwestern France terminated her contract with Bouygues Telecom. The company then said to her that she'll pay termination fee that will reflect on her last billing statement.

When it arrived, San Jose was shocked that her billing for September was amounting to €11,721,000,000,000,000.

"There were so many zeros I couldn't even work out how much it was," San Jose told a local newspaper. Sud Quest reported  that Bouygues Telecom representative first insisted this bill and added that it will be just withdrawn on her bank account. But, after some stressful conversation the company acknowledges the mistake and Solene was only billed with €117.21.

The company said that this mistake occurred due to printing error.
