When I read about this purchase on a Polish GSM portal, the info was provided with comment that unlike Christian, muslims and Jews consider 666 to be a "holy" number.
And the Chinese like 8's. According to the portal, the previous record of the fee for a single number (8888 888
was 270000 GBP paid by Sichuan Airlines.
BTW, Citibank Poland uses a shared cost line 0 801 666 666 as an info line for their credit cards
