Worldwide technology and its changes play a major role in each individual’s life. The current trend of society is to adopt every change in the field of communication technology. Mobile phones are the products of this century. A mobile phone is considered an important communication tool and has become an integral part of society. It is not only a communication device but also a necessary social accessory. People are increasingly using mobile phones rather than fixed telephones.
