Mobile cellular subscriptions

This indicator quantifies the total number of subscriptions to public mobile telephone services that utilize cellular technology to connect users to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). It encompasses both postpaid plans, which involve regular billing cycles, and active prepaid accounts, defined as those that have been utilized at least once in the past three months. The measure focuses exclusively on subscriptions that facilitate voice communication, thereby providing a clear view of consumer engagement with mobile voice services. Notably, it excludes various forms of connectivity, such as subscriptions for data-only services, USB modems, or other specialized communications like telepoint and telemetry, ensuring an accurate reflection of traditional mobile telephony usage within the market.
