Background of the Study

The uses of mobile phones have increased ever since the turn of the century. In

messages can be relayed and returned faster. Mobile phones are more portable and have

more uses in comparison to lined telephones. According to Ishii (2016), mobile phones are

not only for communication anymore. Students can get to the web, send or get text
