Quarter of Hispanics Use Only Cell Phones

 More and more consumers are cutting the cord and opting to go only wireless with their telephone communications. a recent survey by National Health (NHIS) showed that Hispanics are leading the charge with 25 percentof Hispanic households depending only on their cell phones as primary means of telephone communication.

By comparison, the same study showed that 21.4 percent of African-Americans and 16.6 percent of Caucasians lived in cellphone-only households.

With this data, it’s no wonder that wireless companies like Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless, Sprint, Cricket Wireless and others are scurrying to “Hispanicize” their products with Latin music ringtone downloads and in-language content and applications. And they love those long conversations with Tia Juanita back home!
