Author(s): Mohamed K Mwanga, Lucas Salati and Dickson Luambano

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the demographic factors that influence mobile phone ownership in Tanzania Mainland. Secondary data from the 2017-2018 Household Budget Survey (HBS), which was conducted by the Tanzania National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), were used in this study. In order to determine which demographic factors influence Tanzanian mobile phone ownership, the Binary logistic regression method was utilized. According to the findings, a person's age, marital status, sex, residence area, and household size are all demographic factors that influence mobile phone ownership. Out of 9463 households, approximately 77.3 percent (7311) have at least one mobile phone, while only 22.7 percent (2152) do not. More than just a means of communication, the mobile phone has changed how people live and keep in touch with one another.
