Eighty-three percent of households had a
mobile phone by July 2016 and the average number of phones owned by households was 2.3. The corresponding figures
for active SIM cards were higher, at 84%
and 2.9 respectively, hinting at the use of
dual SIMs (see section on individual use

mobile phones and SIMs had increased
considerably since 2015. (Figure 17)
