Nevertheless, local calls saw the tendency to reduce in the last four years of the period, whereas mobile calls became more popular.
In 1995 people un UK spoke more than 70 billion minutes in local calls via fixed line.
This number grew up until 1999 when it peaked at 90 billion minutes, and in 2002 it returned to the value of 1995.
The amount of time spent on national and international calls increased steadily over these years from just below 40 to slightly above 60 billion minutes.
