I don't think that by just judging a person's mobile phone would reveal that he/she is rich or not. I know people who carry inexpensive and outdated mobile phones but they have beautiful houses, luxury cars and they dress very well. In short they're rich.

i don't think so, a lot of my friends that isn't rich uses simple mobile phone, and a friend of mine that isn't rich uses an expensive mobile phones. so i think we can't really decide from that basis.

Hi, siliguri. Not really.. I have seen on the Telephone video featuring, Lady GaGa. She had an Virgin Mobile Phone.. I thought that she should have a phone that was much more expensive.. But, a phone is a phone to some people. I don't think that the type of phone that someone has can describe if they are rich. I am not so sure about that. I don't think that there are a such thing as an person that has an expensive phone that comes from a poor family. In my opinion, if they are able to have an expensive phone then that means that they can afford it. So therefore they are not poor. Because if they were poor, they would not be able to buy a phone.

Hey siliguri! I don't have a fancy mobile phone! In fact, I have a free mobile phone that was issued to me by the US Government because I am Disabled! I only use it for emergencies! I use it if I am out and need to contact someone or if the need to contact me or if my landline phone goes down. It doesn't have any fancy features on it like the Internet or anything else. They give me 68 minutes free each month, which I don't even use! I have to give it back to them in August and re-apply to see if they will send me another one and I hope that they will because I can't afford a mobile phone! If they won't give me another one I don't know what I will do because I have to have a phone when I'm out in case I do have an emergency like if I am not feeling well!

I also don't think so.. because i think in that time every person have mobile.. and you can't judge any person.. that he/she is rich or not by seeing only his/her mobile.. In that time a beggars have also mobile.. so how you say he/she is poor.. have a nice day and keep mylotting always..

I don't think its right to judge a person based on the type of cell phone they cary. You don't know them. For example I have a fairly expencive-looking phone, but the thing is I'm still paying for it. I didn't have the money up-front, so I am paying it off slowly. Most phones are standard, and it can be difficult to tell the more expecive from the "cheep". Which in reality, there is no such thing as a "cheep" phone. Because you aren't thinking about the reoccouring bill.

Hi siliguri, Some people have the habit of purchasing modern mobile sets even if they are drawing less salary. They want to spend their money for luxury and enjoying life. This trend is more popular with the youngsters and unmarried boys. We can’t blame as they want to enjoy life with using different facilities in mobile phone. In my office, our peon is using a luxury mobile with two sim card facilities and none of any staff is having that much costly mobile. So you can understand what I mean. Let them enjoy.

Of course not. I know a lot of people who has a not so expensive phones but they are definitely rich. Sometimes the rich would much prefer to have a simpler phone nowadays and so I definitely disagree that the phone a person has signifies how rich or poor they are.

Possessing an expensive mobile set only denotes person's tastes or his undue obsession with gadgets; it in no way indicates that the person is rich. Some buy mobile according to its utility. Some buy only for communicating. Some buy for internet surfing. Some like music. Some like to use camera. Some want to record conversation or their own notes. It depends what purpose mobile would serve for them.
