2.2.2 Type of phone
last used
Mobile increasingly dominated phone use
in 2016. While a fifth of phone users in
2015 stated that their most recent phone
call was through a fixed phone, this number more than halved by 2016 — only six
percent had used a fixed phone to make
their last phone call. Females were twice
as likely to use fixed phones as males in
2016 (Figure 24).
