Give me a missed call when you are leaving for the cafe and I will see you there.” Doesn’t this sound familiar? We never let go of an opportunity to save money on our calls, and the best way to do this is to resort to missed calls. This is a convenient method to convey a mutually understood message, and saves cash too!
A recent Sri Lankan study titled Teleuse@BOP 08-09 conducted by the Asian ICT thinktank Lirneasia and reported by The Times of India says that giving missed calls is an Indian trait.
Giving a missed call may also mean that the person who gets it is to call back. Off late, “giving a missed call” has become a common phrase amongst people, and the habit may soon replace our good old SMS.
What could be the reason behind the tendency of the Indian populace to give missed calls? With the Telecom giants slashing rates
as days go by and handsets getting cheaper, owning a mobile phone is not a distant dream for many. As recently reported , about 40 percent of the future 250 million Indian wireless subscribers will be from the rural areas. This clearly signifies that India’s booming mobile telephony sector will continue its steady upward march with a major share of its growth originating from the rural areas.
Do you guys agree that giving missed calls is a habit unique to Indians? Is giving a missed call your way of saving money too? Do you think that if telecom companies further slash tariff rates and mobiles become cheaper, Indians would drop the habit? Let me know your thoughts on the issue in our comments section below.
