I conducted a quick survey called “Globe, Smart or Sun<\/a>?” a week ago and got a nice number of responses from my techie\/blogger friends. Here’s what I found:
\n
\n1. On average, one blogger owned 2 mobile phones – Not a surprise. 5 respondents actually owned 3 phones.<\/p>\n

2. Prepaid users outnumbered postpaid users 3 to 2 – Again, not surprising. Some own just one phone and switch SIM cards depending on who they want to text or call.<\/p>\n

3. There were more users on Globe than Smart 4 to 3 – I was expecting Smart to win this one, but Globe tends to be popular among techies\/yuppies who can afford their rates.<\/p>\n

4. On primary use of phone, text messaging was the most important, followed by calling, Internet browsing, taking photos, sending emails and storing\/playing music – Expected, given that we are, no less, the text messaging addicts of the world. I would expect music to rank higher than it did, but apparently our iPods are indeed there for a purpose.<\/p>\n

Other neat facts:<\/p>\n

The total mobile market is a mind-blowing 55 million subscribers. That’s a 63% market penetration rate! Smart is the leading network with 54% of the market, followed by Globe with 36% and Sun with 10%. For 2006 alone, the market welcomed 14 million new subscribers or a 36% growth rate. This year’s growth won’t be as fast-paced, experts predict.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all who participated!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
