ireland has the most mobile users in the world

irishguy

i was just browsing this page and noticed that ireland has the most mobile users per 1000 in the world.i wonder how this is as every other servies is crap. japan are just under us and strangly they have nearly 1.5 times more tvs than land lines or mobiles. it is a realy interestresting site if ur board

Irish guy was readin bout this in the paper, 75% of the population have a fone,but on a fraction of it use it regulary,so because of this phones are gonna go sky high in price,also the fact that demand is getting lower and the companys like Eircelll subsidice the phones dramitacly will add to it

Well there is my boring speech for the week

Thank U come again

i can well believe this. i know of 2 nine year olds living on my road who have mobiles! who would they ring? their ma 2 say they are at the pub???

They'd ned it to ring their ma and tell her to get their PJ's ready and they'll be home for bed at 7.

It's fookin crazy. None of my kids will ever get a phone/palm pilot or whatever we're using in 2020 until they're 16. What do they need it for? Of course with some girl developing GPS bugs that fit inside clothing and that are washable, kids won't need phones to 'be contactable' anymore.

It was Ready To Go which gave us such high phone ownership. It received awards and stuff for innovation, apparently. Plus Ireland's Mobile service operators offer more services over the network than most other countries(afaik).

God help the kids of Seamus!

I reckon the kids of today are plotting a super masterminded plan to take down gobalization and raise the fist of socialism!!

Too much caffine today soz :eek:

Yeah,

We seem to have created a culture of Mobile Phone use.Off hand I can't think of anyone I know who doesn't have one. I'm an Eircell RTG customer, and while I don't exactly charge throught the credit the phone is too useful to do without.

Lenny

That site is also intresting for other intresting **** too

ATM I am in the ranks of those with no mobile.

As of yesterday evening my mobile is nowhere to be seen and has either run out of power or been powered off by some jammy thieving bástard.

Doubt it'll mkae much difference to the statistics.

Ah yes, that's what the 'afaik' was for. I knew I was being blinded by dirty vodafone propaganda. Blackberry?
