For most of them having a phone, means
being in touch with parents, or friends.
Let's have a look at details.
80% of asked members have bought a prepaid cell - just to be in touch with their parents,
the rest have to pay a licence fee every month (through their parents), and only very few still don't have a mobile phone.
Young people are adapting very easily to the new technique - besides talking with their family or friends, they are sending enormous amounts of smses - this is the main profit for mobile companies.
Time
Average person talks about 5minutes per week, it means he or she will send minimum 15 smses a week too.
20% of asked have spent more than 10minutes on the phone during the week, nut 10% use cells only for answering calls or writing smses - of course because its cheaper.
Brand
About half of the group use Nokia phones - they want to have a brand-name phone, but brand not always means quality, other members had bought different brands cause of their own inclination, or just costs connected with it.
Conclusions
However, everyone said that having a wireless phone is very useful, 70% of asked declared that now they can't live without it - this is a good sign for companies.
Telephone can be even used to receive notifications about new e-mails or something like that.
There will be more and more phones, but young people need some new extras included in this phones, games, radios, etc.
