That's crazy. Just goes to show how many people have second or third phones and how dependent we are on them.

At the end of December 2008 there were 5,357,036 mobile subscriptions in Ireland.

Mobile penetration, based on a population of
4,422,100 (using a CSO April 2008 estimate), was 121.1%.


Given that some mobile users may have used more than one active SIM card during the period, there is likely to be some over-estimation of actual mobile usage using this metric.

ComReg’s calculation of mobile subscriptions now includes active SIMs bundled with HSDPA datacards and USB modems for internet access via laptops/PCs as well as SIM cards used in mobile phones for voice and data services since Q2 2007.

A lot of these phones are at bottom of peoples cupboards, it's not necessarily that people are dependent on them, which is a true point also.
I had 12 phones at one stage, used them all, not dependent just...sad :P
