The Germans are talking more than ever - on the phone

The Germans are using the telephone more than ever. Germans telephoned for 921 million minutes every day this year using both landlines and mobiles. That is five million minutes more than in 2010.

Two thirds of the calls are made on landlines, one third using mobiles.

There are 110.9 million active SIM cards in the country.
