The World of Mobile Phones [infographic]

January 20, 2012 | by Tim | Tech

Cell phones seem like an essential part of an American’s life. I don’t know anyone without one and I’d say most people even have a smart phone. Countries like Saudi Arabia and Russia have a weird distribution of cellphones per people. I guess having multiple phones is popular in those places.

As our society relies more and more on cellular devices for our everyday needs we will become even more helpless when we lose our phones. I drowned two phones this summer. One in a hottub and one in my pool. I lost my iPhone in the hottub and going 6 months without my GPS, contacts, email, news, twitter, internet was horrible.

I did research over every single smartphone on the market and finally decided on the Samsung Galaxy II S. This phone is awesome. Voice control, huge screen and Swype for texting is like magic. I know when the iPhone 5 comes out it could take back my top spot, but I’ll have to make some careful comparisons. [So Mobile]

The ‘weird distribution’ as you call it is there because in a country like Russia, with vast expanses of uninhabitable areas, many areas do not have landline coverage, so the mobile phone becomes the only possible means of communication.

The same goes for developing countries. It is much more economical for telcos to build a cellular infrastructure than a wired one.

What is this data based on? According to your map, the Nordic countries (Finland, Sweden, Norway) have 0% coverage of mobile phones???

That can’t be right. I’ve got 3 active mobile phones/subscriptions, 4 if I count the USB data stick. So I alone have 400% coverage. But maybe I’m the only one and no-one else in Finland has any mobile phones at all, so I guess that would bring the average percentage down to 0%…

Or not… According to International Telecommunications Union statistics, the average mobile subscriptions average for all the developed countries is well over 100%, for Finland it’s over 150%.

Check your facts, please.

0% in Greece!! Really? Every one here has at least 1 mobile phone. I’ve even seen homeless guys and beggers talking on their cellphone! Hopefully the data bellow the map aren’t as inacurate as the map…

I´m accordingly with MikaS and J.Nik, I´m from Uruguay and I can´t believe that your infographic shows that in my country the coverage of mobile phones is 0%. There are studies that shows that
Uruguay is the 3rd country in teledensity in America. Please check your info.

This map is clearly totally incorrect. The Nordic countries are among the countries where the use and ownership of mobile phones is the highest in the world. I see from the comments from other people that they are skeptical about your presentation of their regions too. I think you should remove this or at least correct it.
