I will be holding a webinar on the 25^th this month, looking at mobile and WFM engagement. I hope you all join me.

In researching some numbers for the piece, I came across some amazing facts, which were too many to include but thought it might be of interest anyway, and some will make you smile!

• Over 9 TRILLION text messages were sent in 2013, that’s 1200 for each of us. Compared to email that’s not so much, over 100 trillion were sent in the same year.
• The first “car phone” came in 1940, and needed to have the engine running to supply power.
• China: (1.2 billion) India: (904 million)  US. (327 million)  Brazil: (276 million) and Russia: (256 million)  have the most number of mobile phones
• Montenegro has mobile phone penetration of 192.5% or nearly two phones per person.
• The bestselling ever mobile phone was the Nokia 1100 which sold over 250 Million.
• Apple sells an iPhone every 4 seconds
• The highest ever phone bill was 140,000 pounds (UK)
• The most common use for a mobile phone is to check the time
• The most expensive mobile phone was a gold, and diamond encrusted phone costing 6.7 million pounds (UK)
