I can be in Africa, anywhere in Europe or even the places I go to in the US (Chicago, midwest area) and people can always call me on the same number. I would say that around 80 - 90% of all 15-year-olds in Sweden and probably Norway too have cell-phones. It's just the way they communicate now. When that many have one, there's no status to it at all.
