Think You Can Guess Which Americans Talk or Text the Most on their Cellphones? Black Women and Southerners (315 hits)
August 24, 2010 African-Americans, Women and Southerners Talk and Text The Most in the U.S.
According to Nielsen, African-Americans use the most voice minutes – on average more than 1,300 a month. Hispanics are the next most talkative group, chatting an average of 826 minutes a month. Even Asians/Pacific Islanders, with 692 average monthly minutes, talk more than Whites, who use roughly 647 voice minutes a month.
African-Americans and Hispanics also text the most. Hispanics send and receive around 767 SMS messages a month while African-Americans send and receive around 780 – significantly more than Asians/Pacific Islanders (384 texts a month) and Whites (566 texts a month).
The voice and text results are compiled from one year (April 2009-March 2010) of mobile usage data gathered by the The Nielsen Company, which analyzes the cellphone bills of more than 60,000 mobile subscribers each month in the United States.
Women Have Their Say And if you think women in the U.S. talk more than men on their cellphones, Nielsen data confirms your suspicion. On average, women talk 22 % more than men (856.3 minutes a month compared to men’s 666.7)...
It's not just Black Americans, I think Africans run circles around us. Everytime I see an African ( especially female) they are always on the phone whether it's at work (when they should be working) or in church (yes church ~~ can you imagine) they are always talking. It's just my observation, but I think these teens girls irrespective of ethnicity can also walk circles around us.
