- W2062003105 abstract "Purpose This paper aims to examine whether mobiles are replacing the use of public access telephones (mobile or fixed) in Africa. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses data from nationally representative household surveys from 17 African countries to explain public phone usage. Findings Mobile use is often in conjunction with public phone use for some sections of the population. At lower levels of income, increases in income are associated with a higher likelihood of payphone use due to income related barriers such as the inability to afford a mobile handset and the minimum recharge amounts for mobile minutes. At higher levels of income use of public phones tends to decline, while high‐income users do not use public phones at all. The latter is in keeping with the expectation of a gradual switch to mobile use with rising incomes. Practical implications The main policy recommendation that follows from the study is the need to ensure that public pay phones continue to exist as a communication safety net. Originality/value The empirical research explains public phone usage in terms of individual characteristics like income, age, gender representation for 17 African countries." @default.
