For example, UK fixed telephony lines generated 10.3 billion minutes of outgoing calls in Q1 2019, down by 2.7 billion minutes (21%) compared to Q1 2018. However, the regulator&#8217;s most recent data also states that the number of mobile voice calls was 40.0 billion in Q1 2019, which is down 0.4 billion (0.9%) from a year previously.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless Ofcom&#8217;s new research reveals that a quarter of people made less than five mobile calls a month, with 6% of people not making any standard mobile calls at all. Of those who did pick up the phone, almost two-thirds (60%) ended the call in less than 90 seconds. The regulator then compared how long people in 10 major UK cities spend on conversations from their mobile.
