Just out of curiosity, who here owns a cell phone?
In Portugal 102.3 people out of 100 own a cell phone. The UK is the only country in Europe with more cell phones (102.8%) than Portugal. In the USA only 61% of the population has a cell phone.
I live in a country where everybody has a cell phone, some have more than 1, and nowdays cell phones are basicaly indispensable. It is therefore somewhat susprising to find out that such countries as Japan (71.6%) and the US, which are rich and technologically advanced countries, have less cell phones than a country like Portugal.
