According to a news item on Yahoo :
Men are more likely than women to natter on their mobile phone, according to a survey.
Sixty per cent of men questioned said they make regular voice calls compared with 44% of women. Women, it seems, prefer to keep in touch by sending text messages. The poll found 72% of women texting on a regular basis – just above men on 70%.
Females have also taken to sending picture messages more than male counterparts, the research on behalf of communications firm Agilent Technologies found. “Women tend to have more interest in communications so it makes sense that they would tend to be heavier users of mobile features such as texting and picture messaging,” said Tom White, UK managing director of Agilent Technologies. The survey was conducted by ICM Research among 1,019 adults earlier this month.
