Average adult reckons they could only last five hours without their mobile phone

Brits rely on their mobile phones for online banking (44%), social media (38%), and maps and directions (34%) – and the average adult reckons they could only go five hours without using their device.

A poll of 2,000 Brits found more than half (51%) use their phone daily for accessing the internet – and 71% admit they would struggle to manage their life if they could not do so.

Those polled reckon they could last just five hours and 11 minutes without having access to their phone – compared to three days without a laptop, tablet, or games consoles.
