FROM THE CHAIRMAN HAND PHONE USERS SURVEY 2007

alaysians are avid texters. This has proven true over the years that short messaging services (SMS) or multimedia messaging services (MMS) have been introduced. A steady increase of hand phone users who send an average of 5 or more SMS or MMS a day was noted over the period 2004 to 2007. In fact a solid 50.4 % of hand phone users sent more than 5 SMS or MMS per day. This is among some of the interesting findings of the SKMM Hand Phone Users Survey 2007; the fourth in the Hand Phone Users Survey series and the sixth in the Statistical Briefs Series published by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (SKMM). This report presents the main findings of the Hand Phone Users Survey (HPUS) 2007. It brings together the findings of the HPUS 2006 and HPUS 2005 carried out by SKMM that illustrates the relationship between hand phones and their owners. Response rates to surveys done by the SKMM have been encouraging and the HPUS 2007 is no exception, garnering a response rate of 79.8 percent. I would like to thank respondents who answered our calls and agreed to be interviewed by our Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) operators for the survey. Without their cooperation, this report would not have been possible. I would like to commend the Research and Planning Division of SKMM on another successful survey and invite suggestions from readers to make this series of publication even more useful.

INTRODUCTION
The Hand Phone Users Survey 2007 is the fourth of an annual survey on hand phone users conducted by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (SKMM). The main objective of this survey is to estimate proportions of the hand phone users that fall into the various classes of the categorization schemes of the key variables. Proper use of these estimated proportions, in conjunction with population estimates, can yield the various hand phone user penetration rates. The survey probed the demographics and socioeconomics of the hand phone user such as:

nationality gender ethnicity age usual state of residence urban/rural distribution income

as well as other hand phone user trends and usage. In 2007, these included:

payment plan number of active hand phone subscriptions SMS usage unsolicited SMS received per week Internet access through the hand phone awareness of mobile number portability, (MNP) awareness of International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) international roaming

Target Population
The target population was all main users of hand phones on all digital platforms in the states and territories making up Malaysia. These were the main users of the 012, 013, 014, 016, 017 and 019 networks. Both postpaid and prepaid users were covered.

Introduction
Reference date and geographical coverage of the survey
The reference date of the survey was set at 31 March 2007. The survey was canvassed using a Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) solution and operated out of SKMMs CATI Centre located at the SKMM Central Regional Office, Shah Alam. The canvassing period extended from 9 June to 12 July 2007. No statistical unit and no segment of the target population were excluded on the grounds of geographical inaccessibility or service non-coverage or on any other grounds.

Response Rate
Response rate to the survey was 79.8%.

Methodology
The sample size was 4,925 units ( = 0.01 and d = 0.02) drawing from the work on sample sizes from multinomial populations by Chakravarty. There was only one stage of sample selection as the survey adopted a simple random sample (SRS) approach. Meaningful stratification was not possible because no suitable variable for stratification was available. As at 31 March 2007, there were 20,808,797 hand phone subscriptions on the 6 digital networks operating in the country. The survey also determined that as high as 18.3% of hand phone users had the same main user and this was netted out to transfer the estimates from the survey, to a user rather than subscription basis.

Method of administering the instrument

The questionnaire was administered by CATI. Trained interviewers called up main users of selected hand phone numbers to seek their cooperation. Answers given to precoded questions were clicked in while open ended answers were typed in. Calls were made from 2.00 pm to 9.00 pm on weekdays and 10.00 am to 6.00 pm on weekends and public holidays.

Urban Rural

Over the period 2004 to 2006, the urban-rural gap has narrowed down as shown in the table above. The definition of urban follows that of Census 2000 conducted by the Department of Statistics, Malaysia. Census 2000 findings had shown that 62 percent of the population live in urban areas while the remaining population in the rurals. Percentage distribution of hand phone users by income category Among hand phone users, 29.9 percent had incomes of RM1,000 and below, 30.8 percent had incomes between RM1,000 RM3,000, while 5.3 percent reported monthly incomes ranging from RM3,000 RM5,000. Only 3 percent had incomes in excess of RM5,000. The remaining 31 percent consisting of retirees, housewives, students and unemployed persons had no income.

TABLES
Caution is required in the use of the estimates tabulated below. While SKMM takes every care to minimize non-sampling errors, which cannot be quantified, the estimates presented are also subjected to sampling error, which is a measure of the chance variation that occurs because a sample, and not the entire population is canvassed. The sampling error of an estimate is usually expressed as a percentage of that estimate to give the relative sampling error (RSE) of that estimate. In general, estimates that are small are subjected to high RSEs. As a guide, only estimates with RSEs of 25 percent or less are considered reliable for general use. Estimates with RSEs greater than 25 percent but less than or equal to 50 percent are denoted with an asterisk in these tables and should be used with caution while those with RSEs greater than 50 percent are denoted by two asterisks and are considered too unreliable for general use. However these estimates may be aggregated with others until an RSE of less than 25 percent is obtained. Confidence intervals for very small estimates should be based on the binomial distribution rather than the normal approximation to the binomial. As an alternative, the method of Korn and Graubard, 1998 may also be used. Percentages may not add up to 100.0 percent because of rounding. Table 1 Gender

DESCRIPTIONS

(see also main user below) The main user The main user may or may not be the legal owner of the device. He may also not be the one who pays for the bills incurred as in the case of supplementary subscriptions and company subscriptions. The ethnicity of a child of mixed parentage is Malay if either parent is Malay, or recorded as reported, or takes the ethnicity of the father if undecided. Age referred to age as at last birthday. Usual state of residence refers to the state where the respondent has a home and has stayed continuously there for the past 6 months. If he has stayed for less than 6 months but knows beyond reasonable doubt that he will be there for at least 6 months continuously, then he should be counted in that state. This is especially so in cases where the respondent has just been transferred in, prior to the interview taking place. If a respondent knows that he will be moving to another state shortly but has not done so yet at the time of the interview then he is not considered as a resident of the state where he is moving to. This is especially so in cases where the respondent has a notice of transfer but has not moved yet. Usual state of residence does not refer to the state where ancestral homes or kampungs are located. Mobile Number Portability (MNP) International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) A service that allows customers the choice of switching from one mobile service provider to another while retaining their existing telephone numbers. A number unique to every GSM and UMTS mobile phone. It is usually found printed on the phone underneath the battery and can also be found by dialing the sequence *#06# into the phone. The IMEI number is used by the GSM network to identify valid devices and can be used to stop a stolen phone from being used.

HAND PHONE USERS SURVEY 2007

The hand phone is seen as a personal, rather than a household equipment. This is because hand phones are normally carried by their main users when they leave the house or office. When the hand phone rings at home, more often than not the person who answers it is the main user as calls received by that device are expected to be for him.
