Band 5+: The chart below shows the total numbers of minutes (in billions) of telephone calls in the UK, divided into three categories from 1995 to 2002. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The bar chart provides information total amount of telephone calls in minutes in three subcategories: local-fixed line, national and international-fixed line, and mobile calls in the years between 1995 and 2002.

Overall, the dominance of local-fixed type of calls is noticeable. The mobile mixed calls depicted the least amount of calls.

In 1999, the local fixed line reached its peak which is approximately 90 billion minutes, and from that period this data decreased steadily to roughly 70 billion minutes in 2002. Mobile calls starting with about 5 billion minutes saw an increase. Certainly, in 2001 minutes spent on this type of calls were considered well under 40 billion. Then, slightly decreased to 45 billion in 2002.

National and international calls illustrated under 40 billion at the start of these eight years. The only type of calls which soared gradually in this period was this one, which started with 35 billion and in the end with approximately 60 billion.
