Dubai: Mobile phones will outnumber human population by the end of 2014, reaching a staggering 7.3 billion, a new study has said.
The study by International Telecommunications Union concludes that the number of mobile phones will rise from 6 billion now to 7.3 billion in 2014, compared to the global population of 7 billion.
Mark Roden, CEO of ding, the international mobile top-up provider, said mobile phones have the ability to drastically improve lives in some of the poorest parts of the world where communications are restricted.
“No matter how many mobiles exist, they are a useless tool unless they have credit. We are excited at the growth of mobile phones and our mission is to help ensure these phones stay topped-up,” he said.
With more than $ 400 billion transferred in money remittances every year, international top-up is an easy, fast and safe alternative to support home.
