that's how many minutes of call a lad just wasted on me, by leaving his phone in his pocket, accidentally dialling my number and getting my voicemail. Sweet!

That has happened to me a few times. The longest was to a K7 number so it timed out after five minutes.

more or less how much money is that?

Very nice!!!

I had one ladette forget to hang up after calling my Skype number and it recorded the entire thing, and it was a little over an hour before she realized it. I ended up listening to it while watching TV one night, and about every few minutes you could hear her in the background talking to someone. And then she was cooking (could hear the pots and pans banging and stuff), then towards the end I guess her husband or boyfriend found the phone and saw it was off the hook and there was lots of yelling.

It's a shame the call didn't last all day!

Seriously? Heck I don't know, maybe $2. More if TheLovelyJill is using one of those forwarding numbers. If you really want to know ask a lad how much minutes cost. You might get an honest answer to that. You'd probably have to ask about five lads then round off to get the actual price .

Who cares how much it costs? It is the lad's nickel. That is why we want them to call us.

Well it isn't cheap, i can tell you that. One of my lads called my cellphone and he mist have known that it costs a lot. He basically just said "this is Mr Sanusi, call me". But he did it very fast and seemed to be in a hurry. He did not want to pay the cost for a conversion, that's for sure.

You'd think the CBN would cover his phone bills! Smile

A lad who has been calling me 1-2 times a day during the past 2 months usually talks about 5 minutes before he has to go to buy more credit. He is in Burkina Faso. I don't know how much it costs to him (I could ask sometimes because he is my fiance anyway) but I believe he would have more credit readily available if it was cheaper to him.

Another lad in Ghana said he needed money to pay for his Internet connection. He may lie of course but all he wanted, for now, was $60. I know he scams from his house because I've seen him on webcam. He hasn't been online for a few past days and hasn't sent any letter either. I'm naturally very happy if he is broke.

We shouldn't forget that not all scammers are so successful. In countries where people normally earn $1-2 a day, even $2 can be a big sum to lose for nothing.

I'm engaged to Mr Sanusi and he may have talked too much with me on his CBN phoneline or maybe he was just busy to call me. Smile

ETA: Actually I'm engaged to 2 Mr Sanusi's of the CBN. Rolling Eyes

Great point right there.
My longest received call was little bit over 4 minutes, after he assured I'm real in 15th second from that point, I was asking stuff about his family, how's weather and things like that. Also I asked to speak more slowly because his accent was weird. Laughing

By the way guys, I replied to the latter with
