Average Cell Phone Ownership Rising to Two Per-Person
by Tim Stevens, posted Dec 29th 2008 at 2:03PM



Did you finally get with the times and pick up a cell phone so that you wouldn't feel so behind at social gatherings? If so, welcome to the present, but we hate to tell you that you still have some catching up to do: indications are that, soon, most people will have not one cell phone, but two!

This is according to a survey of 1,000 mobile phone users, which found that the average was 1.8 handsets per person. That figure, already higher than you might expect, is expected to climb over the 2.0 mark as handset prices drop and as more and more businesses provide phones for their employees. Unfortunately, this means that while people shed their landlines and enjoy the freedom of going cell phone only, many of them will then have to feel the burden of carrying around two handsets.
