Current data on mobile phone use via evolaris's on-line multi-subject survey

The evolaris CAWI-bus (computer-assisted web interviews) is a representative, multiple-subject survey carried out among Austrian internet users on behalf of evolaris's clients on a regular basis. It is also used to obtain direct feedback on internal research topics. In the wave carried out in February, a representative random sample of n=529 persons was asked various research questions about the use of their mobile phones. Amongst the findings was the fact that 32 percent of the respondents with a WAP-compatible mobile phone used it at least once a month to gain access to the Internet. This figure amounted to only 20 percent last year. Another positive aspect for the evolaris mobile survey tool was that the willingness to participate in a mobile survey has been increasing steadily since the launch of these surveys. In the meantime, 61 percent of all respondents would be certainly or at least probably prepared to complete a questionnaire on their mobile phones.
