In fact, it was revealed in a recent survey that well over two million Australians have ditched their fixed line phone service in favour of their mobiles.
Data from Roy Morgan research has shown that in total just under two and a half million Australians aged fourteen and over have now ditched their fixed line phone in favour of their mobile phones. In total there are now twenty two million mobile phones that are active in the country, which equates to more than one phone for every man, woman and child in the country.

One analyst said: “What we are seeing now is that smartphone usage is becoming very reflective of the general mainstream population.”
