epa05152402 (11/18) A Thai couple use their mobile phone devices at a luxury shopping mall in Bangkok, Thailand, 25 September 2015. Excessive mobile phone usage has been a common global phenomenon in the 21st century, with some studies going as far as to label it an addiction; and with 87.5 million mobile subscriptions among the country's 67.2 million inhabitants, Thailand is no exception. As many users often buy multiple phone numbers, it isn't surprising that the number of mobile phone subscriptions is higher than the country's entire population. Worldwide mobile phone subscriptions in 2018 are expected to reach 4.5 billion due to a notable increase in the number of smart-phone subscriptions in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East/Africa regions.
