The company's conclusion that people own a cell phone for messaging purposes may not be valid solely based on the responses from customers between the ages of 20 and 30. While messaging is a common reason for owning a cell phone, there are many other reasons people may own a cell phone such as making phone calls, internet browsing, social media, navigation, entertainment, and more. It is important to consider a broader range of age groups and demographics in order to draw a more accurate conclusion about the most common reasons people own a cell phone.
