The Ultimate Guide To Worldwide Cellphone Usage

If you’re like me, you have your phone with you pretty much all the time. In fact, most Americans are the same way. But what about the rest of the world? Wilson Electronics just released this snazzy (and tall) infographic that answers that burning question you have: how many teens use cellphones?!

According to the infographic’s sources, there are nearly two cellphones for every one person living in the United Arab Emirates (1.95 to be exact) and Estonia (1.94). By comparison, there are .87 cellphones per person in the U.S. China has the greatest number of cellphones within its borders (640,000,000), followed by the U.S. (270,000,000).

In addition, 15% of Americans take phone calls during sex, according to a survey (although 6% to 10% think it’s acceptable, according to another survey), and three in 10 Americans used a cellphone in 1999, versus nine in 10 a decade later.
