More Phones Than People in Taiwan
from the the-phones-are-ringing! dept
Taiwan is one of the few countries that has more phones than people. Their phone to people ratio is 1.007 phones to people. What's more interesting is the rate at which Taiwan accomlished this feat. In just four years Taiwan went from 2M cellular subscribers to 22.6M subscribers. Apprently many Taiwanese carry multiple phones for different types of contacts. I don't really understand why one would need multiple cell phone numbers. For me the value is having one number where I'm always reachable. Having multiple phones I can understand (I have three), but not phone numbers.

Why 2+ phones?
You don't want to pick up the phone, say Hi Jane, how are U my love and its Mary. So Mary gets one phone (and its number), and Jane another (and its number). When you go see Jane, you leave the Mary phone off/hidden. And vice versa.
