Not only would I doubt that anyone at the phone company would be able to work that out, I doubt that your bank would either.


Please keep us informed as to when they return your check with a note that says: " W T F ?"

Last time I had a phone bill like that I was more upset with myself than with the phone company.

Perhaps the bank will go ahead and process the check anyhow, but will attempt to charge you the $486 "processing fee" they needed to hire a mathematics consultant to figure it out.

Now if you really wanted to be annoying to them, you should have written the very same check on the back of an animal skin or an old cereal box. It is supposedly still considered a valid form of payment as long as all the required info and a signature are present.

Denman, I didn't write the check, but if I had, I believe my old math instructor would dig through the archives just to raise my grade a notch.

In 1972, a regular customer where I worked forgot his checkbook. I shrugged it off and told him he could bring the money later. He wanted to settle up right then and there, and to the amusement of all argued that the bank would accept any account-holder's check, even if written on a napkin. He was so persuasive that my boss allowed it.

Yeah, the bank just laughed. His son happened to work with me, and was so embarrassed about his father's stunt that he settled the bill himself, even at the risk of perpetuating his father's misconceptions.

There's an old story about a check being written on the side of a pig or a cow, and the bank being obligated to accept it. The story is false of course, but it would lead some to believe the principle that you can write a check on anything is still true.
