Abstract

This study looks to assess if a demographic shift in new mobile owners occurred with phones diffusing to individuals in small townships and rural areas, or if phones continued to be concentrated in the hands of the wealthy in big cities. It then examines the relationship between the date of purchase of a SIM and different uses of mobile phones. The influence of other factors such as age, gender and socio-economic status are also addressed.
