Back in the year 2000, New Mexico was among the states with the lowest number of cell phone service subscribers, with only 395,111 subscribers, when most states had between one and two million. Since then, the number has indeed grown - as it has in the rest of the country, with 1,252,943 subscribers in the year 2006. This is a growth of over three times the number of subscribers in only six years time.
Considering that the population of New Mexico was 1,819,046 in the year 2000, this means that only 22 percent of the population of New Mexico had cellular phones. By the year 2006, when the population was 1,954,599, this percentage rose to 64 percent of the population of New Mexico. This percentage is much more in line with the rest of the country.
After all, the cell phone is becoming the defining technology of this millennium. Whole families are made up of cellular phone subscribers, each with their own unique telephone number and handset. This shouldn't come as any surprise. For one thing, cell phones aren't just telephones anymore. They offer so many additional services and forms of communication such as text messaging and internet capabilities. Furthermore, cell phones offer entertainment such as gaming and MP3 players.
While in the case of landlines, which are naturally quite popular, there are directories such as white page telephone books, 411 information, and many different search sites online, this is not so with cellular phones. There is no New Mexico state-wide directory for cellular phone numbers that can be searched by those who want to reach someone they know, or discover who has called them and left their number using Caller ID.
Fortunately, there are alternatives to New Mexico state cell phone directories, and these are reputable, functional websites such as this reverse phone site. Sites like that allow searchers to enter a cellular telephone number (including area code) into the search box and then discover the name and address associated with that number. Other relevant information can also be discovered such as the cellular phone provider.
