Default World's most expensive mobile number sells in Qatar.

And the World's most expensive mobile number is 666 6666
The world's most expensive phone number was auctioned for charity yesterday in Qatar.
The number, 666 6666, sold for 10m Qatari riyals or £1.5m.
Anyone in Qatar fancy giving it a ring and asking if they've got some spare change you can have?
