As you’d expect 71% of millenials have cellphone only households, while even nearly a quarter of senior citizens also have adjusted to living a cell phone only lifestyle.

Facebook allows automatic syncing of contacts and phone numbers, so you may find phone numbers just from profiles. This is becoming increasingly popular, as 20% of teenagers share their cell phone number on profiles.
