1 Every year, over 100 million cell phones are made obsolete. 2  The average life span of a cell phone is just 18 months. 3  The average American cell phone user owns three or more cellular phones.4  Up to 75% of obsolete phones are stockpiled in drawers, including the battery and the charger [8]. A global consumer survey released by Nokia reveals that only 3% of the total mobile phone users recycle their phones (6,500 people in 13 countries were interviewed, owning an average of 5 phones each) [5].
If your question is how long does the average user actually *hold on* to their cell phone, I'd guess 18 months. I don't see many people I know using any particular phone much more than 18 months. People don't perceive cell phones as an accessory they expect to keep for great lengths of time.f the scope of your question is how long *can and should* a cell phone last, the answer -- with proper care -- is probably somewhere between 3 and 10 years.
