Ever snooped through your partner’s phone?

New challenger in the telco market Kiwi Mobile has been surveying New Zealanders on their phone habits.

Almost two-thirds of Kiwis allow their partners to use their phones, with the 18-to 34-year-old group the most trusting revealing that eighty per-cent will hand over their phone, according to the research. However, that same age group are also the most likely to go through their partner’s phone, with nearly one-third, admitting to snooping on their partner’s phone.

Overall, one-fifth of Kiwis surveyed admitted to snooping on their partner’s phone, a further five percent wouldn’t say. 

It appears women are the most likely to let curiosity get the better of them (or are more honest about admitting it!). Only 14% of men admitted to the questionable behaviour, while a further 6% wouldn’t say.

Listen as Simon Barnett and James Daniels discuss the issue.
