Talking about numbers. There are 487 million mobile phone and 371 million landline phone users in China, according to the country’s Ministry of Information Industry.
Impressed? Wait to see the rate of growth. Since the start of 2006, the number of mobile phone users increased by 6 million, and the number of landline phone users increased by 1 million. The SMS usage also increased 38.1% from the previous year to reach 182.6 billion of text messages sent. Damn wow! (via: chinaknowledge)
