List of countries by number of mobile numbers in use

From The Right Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

This list ranks the countries of the world by the number of mobile phone numbers in use. IMPORTANT NOTE: This list does NOT provide the "number of mobile phones in use." Nobody knows that data. This is a count of phone numbers by country. In fact, often each SIM card has a separate phone number, so those with a dozen SIM cards (for each city they frequent) will have a dozen phone numbers. In some countries, it's true that one person might have two mobile phones. Also, some mobile phone numbers may be used by machines as a modem (examples: intrusion detection systems, home automation, leak detection), or a local micro-cell.
