Description

Definition

MOBPHONE indicates whether the household had a mobile/cellular telephone.

The related variable HHPHONE indicates whether the household had a telephone, regardless of the type of phone, or had a non-mobile phone.

The information in MOBPHONE is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
