More using cell instead of home phones

Article Abstract:

Wireless telephone services are headed for mainstream as evidenced by a recent Yankee Group survey that found more people preferring to use their cell phones instead of their home telephones. The change is mainly due to the steady decline of mobile phone rates at an average of 30% annually. Aside from the advantages of lighter handsets and long-lasting batteries, wireless services rates are comparable to land line services that include voice mail and caller ID. The strong inclination towards the use of cell phones is also attributed to the continued improvement in services.
