Are you in the "Sim Bin"?

High cross mobile phone network call charges could be losing you friends, according to new research. Blaming high cross network call charges, 50% of people calling friends on other phone networks admitted cutting calls short or sending text messages rather than calling. Apparently males between 18 and 29 are most likely to consign friends to the “Sim Bin”, with almost one in four admitting they are as likely to know their friends networks as their birthday. Relationship Psychotherapist Christine Webber has been analysing this new phenomenon: “It seems that new technology is not only affecting how we communicate and relate to our friends, it is no affecting how our friendships develop and even helping us to decide who we keep in close contact with.” The research was carried out on behalf of the mobile phone network 3.
