Talking of mobile phones and their usage, well they are a necessity for most of us, including you and me. Just before this year’s celebrations for the festive season began, a survey was conducted which aimed at determining how many people would be making phone calls or texting using their mobile phones to wish their friends and families. The results were interesting – 55 per cent said that they would send text messages to convey their well wishes while around 62 per cent would be making phone calls. There exists a good bet, which is not shared in any poll results and is about people planning to make use of their new Christmas gift iPhone or other smart phone to send messages or make calls, considering the tremendous amount of cell phone recycling which lasted for some weeks before Christmas.
Communication through mobile phones has exploded especially with the advent of social media platforms. Twitter and Facebook are full of people posting individual messages wishing their friends and family members a Merry Christmas. Despite that, people are making phone calls and sending out text messages. T-Mobile has always found it interesting to understand what people intend doing in the Christmas holidays. Do they spread all festive messages in a very personal way or make use of technology?
Around £186 million is spent online for Christmas day by UK citizens, if results from another survey are to be believed. Most of these purchases are of mobile phones.
