Mobile phones have become an inevitable part of our lives. As mobile phone users continue to rise, the number of active mobile phone users is expected to hit 7.3 billion by 2014, from 6 billion active users according to International Telecommunications Union.
Interestingly, there are 100 countries where the number of phones is much higher than their total population, thanks to people owning multiple cell phones.
China with over 1 billion active mobile phone users is the world's largest market for phones. However, in terms of mobile phone per capita, China does not figure among the top 10.
Mobile phone per capita is the estimated number of mobile phone lines per 100 people. It is also known as the mobile phone penetration rate.
