Back in the hey day for new technologies, Bounce Mobile was a highly innovative entity for those looking for 'mobile phone providers near me'. Times, though, are a changing.

However, the same article contains the addendum:
"Closed Date Jun 30, 2012"
So, the question then is: Is the era of mobile phone mania over? Well, according to the Gadget Guy, sales of mobile phones have risen 24% year on year after a Covid devastated 2020. What that means, in practical terms, is that this year has seen around 340 million units sold compared to 275 million the year prior.
This would seem to indicate that the mobile phone industry is alive and well, but is it? It should be noted that a rise of 24% is somewhat influenced by a 35% increase in Chinese consumption. So, whilst the Western countries have seen a more modest rise, the Chinese market is making up for any shortfall.
One of the benefits of selling cellphones, or mobile phones, is that an industry which would be severely affected by shop closures and social distancing can benefit from considerable online sales which circumnavigate this problem. So, whilst High Street stores are struggling and often closing, mobile phone sales can continue regardless.
