The chart below shows the total number of minutes (in billions) of telephone calls in the UK, divided into three categories, from 1995-2002. v. 3
The bar chart outlines the duration of phone calls by the UK residents from 1995 to 2002. Generally speaking, most of the UK citizens made local calls during the period and the usage of cell phones rapidly increased. According to the bar chart, initially in 1995, British talked more than 70 billion minutes on fixed-lines while 37 billion minutes were national and international fixed line calls. Only 3 billion minutes were spent by people to talk over cell phone calls. The use of local fixed-line increased steadily until 1999 when it reached to 90 billion minutes and after that, the number decreased each year and finally reached to 72 billion in 2002. The national & international-fixed dialling increased each year and reached to 61 billion in 2002 from the initial figure of 38 billion. Finally, the number of cell phone calls expanded significantly each year which shows its increasing popularity. In 1995, the mobile phone calls were only 2 billion minutes and in 2000 it reached to approximately 25 billion minutes. Over the next 2 years, this number increased to 45 billion. In summary, mobile phone calls gained a significant popularity among the UK callers and as of 2002, the local fixed-line calling was still the highest in the UK.
