Managing One's Availability to Telephone Communication Through Mobile Phones: A French Case Study of the Development Dynamics of Mobile Phone Use

Abstract: This paper provides empirical results concerning the negotiation of access and joinability by mobile phone users. It shows how access is embedded in a gift-giving economy (giving one's number for example). It also shows that the more users make themselves available on the mobile phone, the more their mobile phone traffic increases (both incoming and outgoing). This remarkable result is discussed in terms of the reciprocity involved in the management of mobile phone relationships.

“…Licoppe and Heurtin (2001) propose that individuals feel anxiety without their mobile phones on hand, given that emotional attachment is viewed as a relationship-based structure that reflects a linkage between human beings and a material object that may have utilitarian or hedonic value. In the context of technology acceptance, an individual's emotional attachment toward their smartphones and smart-200 phone usage may play a determinant role in predicting users' behavioral intentions and attitudes.…”

“…La connexion et la joignabilité permanentes conduisent à saturer l'espace : plus une minute, plus un lieu où l'on peut se soustraire aux autres (Aguiléra et al, 2009 ;Licoppe et Heurtin, 2001). Par ailleurs, la géolocalisation peut représenter une intrusion dans la vie privée.…”

“…In responding, recipients pick up the gist of the message and fit their response to it. Typically, they show that they either share the experience or empathise with the sender on a more general level, as is suggested in theories of gift-exchange (Mauss 1980) applied to mobile communications (Licoppe andHeurtin 2001, Taylor andHarper 2002). Parents share pictures of their babies, expecting others to mirror their delight, but even in more ordinary cases, the expected response is a positive, reinforcing one.…”

“…Quite often, once it has been lifted up in this way, recipients acknowledge and respond to experience. For example, they may reciprocate by telling about their own, similar experiences, or simply offer a sympathetic response (Mauss 1980, Licoppe and Heurtin 2001, Ch. 7, Taylor and Harper 2002.…”
