this is ridiculous. There is no way there are more than 5.5 billion cell phone users. I dont know how the hell you got your numbers but they are totally off. If you consider the population of the world to be at 7 billion. 1.3 billion of those are under the age of 10, ie very unlikely to have cell phone. Which means you are basically saying that practically very single person in the world above 10 has a cell phone. unlikely….
There might be 5,6 Billion mobile PHONES but not users.. Each user has in average “2-4”.. (of which they use 1-2)
