About this data

Values above 100 are normal: many people carry two SIM cards, visitors buy local ones, and some lines are for tablets or cars. Hong Kong and other hubs with many visitors rank highest.

A subscription is not the same as a user, so this does not tell how many people own a phone. Prepaid SIMs count only if used in the last three months.
