    Given that the world population is around 6,260,000,000 I'm interested how your estimation is 760,000,000,000.
    That is over 120 phones for every man, woman and child on the planet !
    I think your maths must have gone wrong somewhere.

    		She must have got a wrong number. It is easy to do with all those phones.
