T Mobile comments on YouTube cell phone guy

Ryan Fitzgerald is the cell phone user who posted his number on a YouTube video inviting people to call him up. Thousands of calls, a CNN appearance and a massive phone bill later, Fitzgerald is a celebrity.

T Mobile hasn’t quite offered to take care of his bill for him but commented:

“T-Mobile is intrigued by Ryan Fitzgerald’s experiment,” the company said in a statement late yesterday, hours after Fitzgerald appeared live on CNN (with his cellphone, of course).

“We find Ryan Fitzgerald’s experiment to be interesting and we are glad he was able to take advantage of the unlimited weekend and evening minutes included in his T-Mobile plan,” the company said. “We look forward to learning more about Ryan’s efforts.”
