African Americans and Hispanics Top Phone Users
African Americans and Hispanics are the most frequent users of enhanced mobile phone features such as texting and downloading ringtones.
With mobile phones turning into complete personal entertainment centers, in addition to functioning as phones, some 52 percent of Hispanics and 48 percent of African American cell phone owners say they sent a text message in the past month. The overall average is just 29 percent.
For African Americans it’s ringtones that are the big draw: 37 percent of African American cellular owners downloaded a ringtone last month; 28 percent of Hispanics did the same thing, a figure just higher than the average of 26 percent.
