TEN COUNTRIES WITH THE MOST MOBILE PHONES PER CAPITA AND LEAST MOBILE PHONES PER CAPITA

After a lot of research I found this website that has free statistics. If you click on the title of this blog it will take you to the page that I got the information for this blog off of. So here are my findings from that page. Since I was already there I decided to not only get what the top ten countries with the most mobile phones per capita, but to also find out what the ten countries with the least phones per capita. I have to say, I would not have picked any of these to be on the top ten list of the most phones per capita. I could have guessed some of the other list, because most of them are in Africa. I thought it was interesting that China was not in the top ten countries, although it has the most total mobile phones, because it is so large. Although China was not in the top ten, if I had included them, Hong Kong and Macao would have been. They are listed on the site, but I decided to only use countries. Well, you've been waiting for whole holiday season, so here goes.
