Cell phones have become vastly integrated into the fabrics of our everyday lives. They connect us to our friends and family, allow us to contact doctors, dentists, and other professionals. Our mobile devices have furthered our level of connectivity on the cellular landscape. Here are some important statistics about cell phones in the world today.
1. More mobile phones than people: Intelligence data from GSMA estimates there are about 10.57 billion mobile connections in the world today. Other statistics have forecasted that there are approximately 14 billion mobile devices in the world. Since the global population is 7.8 billion, that means mobile phones vastly outnumber the amount of humans in the world. This is a trend that is forecasted to rise over the next few years.
