Notes

Households were asked ‘Where do members of this household mainly use a telephone?’ and a list of six options was provided. Hostels and institutions were asked ‘ Is there at least one telephone on this premises that residents can use?’ with ‘yes’ and ‘no’ being the valid responses. Thus, as the questions differed for households and hostels/institutions, the data should be analysed separately.
