ABSTRACT: The vital development of telecom technology has a profound impact on the lives and activities of people irrespective of their ages, especially young people. This study examined smart phone user behaviour in relation to self-reported smart phone addiction. Thirty-four fresh users of smart phones logged all phone use over the course of the six months-long study. At the conclusion of the study, users were asked to rate their level of addiction to the device. Sixty-six percent agreed or strongly agreed that they were addicted to their smart phone. These users showed an uncontrolled use of smart phones as compared to those users who did not sign as an addicted. Addiction made them fail attempts to cut back on consistently using smart phones or, in most instances, be seen with their phones, either chatting away, being on call, or using some random surfing or the other social sites, and the Web drove this use. Unexpectedly, it is Games that illustrated no divergence amid addicts and non-addicts users. Addicted users showed significantly lesser time-per-interaction than did non-addicted users to social relations and outdoor activities. Two addicted users reported that they were facing a problematic level of addiction, and their use data was beyond three standard deviations from the upper hinge. The implications of the relationship between the self-reported and logged data are discussed ahead in the current study.
