Japan Mobile Users Survey

InfoPlant performed a survey of mobile phone users, carried out through the main menus of internet-enabled phones from DoCoMo, au and Vodafone which was at least somewhat focused on flat-rate data trends [.pdf in Japanese]. 16,833 people replied during the survey, 67.4% of respondents were female, and iMode users, Ezweb users and Vodafone Live! users were 57.4%, 20.9% and 21.7% respectively.

Q1: Tell me how often you access sites from your mobile phone

  All Male Female
About every day 73.8% 76.7% 72.5%
Four or five days a week 10.4% 9.4% 10.9%
Two or three days a week 10.9% 9.5% 11.6%
About one day a week 3.1% 3.1% 3.2%
Less than that 1.6% 1.3% 1.8%
Not surprisingly, the younger the user, the more frequently they accessed.

 


Q2: Are you on a flat-rate packet plan? (ie, unlimited internet access)
  All Male Female
My phone supports it, and I’m using it 58.0% 59.9% 57.1%
My phone supports it, but I’m not on it, but want to change to it 12.3% 11.5% 12.7%
My phone supports it, but I’m not on it, and won’t change to it 5.9% 6.2% 5.8%
My phone doesn’t support it, but want to change to one that does 20.8% 19.4% 21.6%
My phone doesn’t support it, and won’t change to one that does 2.9% 3.0% 2.9%
Breaking down the table in Q1 by usage of inlimited access plans, we get:

Four or five days a week 6.8% 15.5%
Two or three days a week 5.5% 18.4%

The age breakdown has a couple of interesting spikes – ring tone download for teenagers is almost 50% more the next age group, and mail usage is about 25% to 30% higher for them too.
