Phone Bill Disputes

Cellphone Usuage Data

Accordingly to the CTIA, an organziation that represents the wireless industry, based on data compiled in the last 6 months:

• The average cell phone bill in June 2009 was $49.57, up more than a buck from June 2008;
• The average length of a voice call was just 2.03 minutes, shorter than any other year since the CTIA started keeping records in 1988;
• There are about 276,610,580 wireless subscribers in the U.S., up about 14 million from last year, and more than double the number in 2002;
• The various wireless carriers (or at least the ones who reported figures to the CTIA) raked in $151.2 billion in revenue from June 2009 to June 2008—again, more than double what they made in 2002.

But the biggest data reviewed was that in the US in the last 6 months, US citizen send an average of 4.1 billion messages each day.  That’s 11.7 text messages a day for every man, woman, and child in the country.  That is some cool ass statistics.
