Interesting Cellphone usage statistics

Cellular News has a good article concerning usage of cellphones by Americans.

Here at MESSAGEbuzz, we collect lots of cellphone and text messaging statistics. But take a look below at some of the good ones.

24% of cell-using adults report they often feel like they have to answer their cell phones even when it interrupts a meeting or a meal.

22% of cell owners say they are not always truthful about exactly where they are when they are on the phone. Younger users are much more likely to say they are not always honest about where they are: 39% of cell users ages 18-29 say that.

Fully 65% have taken a step to personalize the phone in some way, such as by changing the wall paper or adding ring tones to the phone - that explains all the bad ringtones that I hear around me

40% of landline users between the ages of 18 and 29 say they are very likely or somewhat likely to give up their landlines and go cell-only. That compares to 19% of landline owners 30 and older who are pondering a similar switch to cells.

These are just a few examples..... and no, I do not have home landline. - Klem
