Abstract
This report seeks a greater understanding of how some ordinary consumers use and think about their current phones. MobileUK aims to explain the importance of being mobile, and to gain a better understanding of present mobile phone use to provide insight on what might happen in the future. Fifteen years ago, mobile phones were the preserve of a few City traders. Today, over 75% of Britons have a mobile phone, as do over 90% of young people. Mobile phones have gone from being widely derided to something many can’t do without. What happened? How is this most pervasive of technologies changing the way people live and work? And what does the future hold?
