Do Not Call Lists or Why iPhone Owners Seldom Use their Phone for Voice Calls

When it comes to paying your phone bill if you have an iPhone you can do it in a matter of seconds – from your phone. You go touch settings -> phone -> AT&T services. At the same time you can use other options like “View my minutes” to see where your money goes.

Do you want to know what is really incredible about the current use of iPhone? It is that the device is used less for making calls than other mobile phones!

International Business Times has unveiled a report saying that only 46.5% of iPhone owners sue their device for voice calls (whereas the figure is 71.7% with BlackBerry users).

Another point of the report is that iPhone users spend 12.1% of their time on the Internet. The owners of other phones spend up to 2.4%. Do you see now the difference in the use of iPhone and other communicators?

More than that iPhone owners spend 11.9% of their usage time listening to music or watching video (whereas the figure is 2.5% with other mobile devices).

I’ve heard people saying that they use only about 10% of the given 200 text messages per month. Why? Because they use email instead. Email use enabled by iPhone is so great that people simply reject using traditional SMS. At the same time it seems rather weird. When you send someone a text message you are waiting for something that is called a “fast” answer, but you cannot ensure that writing an E-letter.

Even those who have the smallest plan with 1800 rollover minutes tend to use hundreds of MB of Internet traffic in data

And if you take this family share plan you are given 5000 rollover minutes. Some families I know told me that the utmost they use per month for calling is 200 minutes, the rest accounts for email or text messaging.

The thing people say about iPhone is that it is not a phone with Internet access but a small computer with a voice call function. Seems strange but credible, isn’t it?
