<P> This list ranks the countries of the world by the number of mobile phones in use . Note that it is not the number of phone devices that are being given here, but the number of phone numbers in a country . While this difference may not affect the figures of the developed countries given below, many people in many developing countries have multiple SIM cards installed: For example, in the table below, China is shown as #1 based on the number of phone numbers there . The actual number of phones (devices) in China is probably about 60% of this figure . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Rankings </Th> <Th> Country or regions </Th> <Th> Number of mobile phones </Th> <Th>
