It is predicted that in five years everyone will own a mobile phone and half of these will be smartphones.

The head of Ericsson’s mobile infrastructure group says global mobile penetration will reach 100 per cent by 2016.

Australia is leading the way, with active SIM cards ownership making 115 per cent of the population.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics recorded that 31 per cent of children owned a mobile phone in 2009 and AIMIA found 40 per cent of smartphone users were over the age of 40.
