Short title: Comparative percentage distributions of cellphone ownership by gender, age and school decile (SES). Legend: Three quarters of students owned a cellphone (70% owned one, 6% owned 2). Cellphone ownership was similar for girls and boys, and there was not a statistically significant difference in ownership by age, although ownership was proportionally lower among 10 year olds. Those in low decile schools (poorer SES) were less likely to own one.
