Manti Te’o reportedly spent more than 500 hours on the phone with the person he believed was his girlfriend, Lennay Kekua.
Of course, Kekua never existed, so he wasted a lot of valuable Anytime Minutes™ for calls made to someone pretending to be her.
According to ESPN, between May 11, 2012 and Oct. 12, 2012 — the day Kekua allegedly died from leukemia – there were approximately 1,000 calls to and from a phone number with a 661 area code — what Te’o thought was his girlfriend’s phone number.
There were reportedly over 100 calls that lasted more than an hour — that’s more than 6,000 minutes he spent on the phone with a fake girlfriend who was on her fake deathbed.
