New research from Webcredible has found that 52% of UK mobile phone users now access the internet using their phones. 39% of mobile internet users mostly go online to use email, while 16% mostly use their phones to access social networking sites. Just under 16% predominantly use their phones online to download ringtones. This contrasts with a previous study from 2007 which found that 43% of mobiles phone users went online to download ringtones, 21% accessed email and social networking didn't even register.
