39 per cent of mobile subscribers have more than one number - study
Some 39 per cent of mobile subscribers in the country have more than one number, according to a recent Telecommunications Regulatory Commission study, which attributed the trend to promotions and competitive prices offered by telecom companies, coverage-related issues and quality of service.
With 458 million people owning a mobile phone in early 2009, Latin America and the Caribbean together hold approximately 12% of the world's 3.97 billion mobile subscribers.
