Voice calling not very popular in Japan
Despite all of the mobile carriers offering free calls to family, this recent survey conducted by Point On Research and reported on by japan.internet.com into mobile phone voice calls found that despite family being the favourite destination for calls, the frequency of calling was quite low.
Demographics
On the 16th of March 2010 800 heavy users of mobile phones completed a private mobile internet-based questionnaire. The sample was exactly 50:50 male and female, 25.0% in their teens, 25.0% in their twenties, 25.0% in their thirties, and 25.0% in their forties.
I’m one of the ones with the free family calls who only makes a voice call about once a month or so, instead we use about three to six emails a day to communicate – email is also free, of course.
