AB  - The present study attempts to fulfill two main objectives: 
  To identify the purposes of mobile phone usage among youth in Malaysia and to 
  examine the problems they face with mobile phone usage. This is a quantitative 
  study which used a developed questionnaire to collect the data. Although, the 
  findings represent preliminary data for the actual study to be conducted, they 
  offer an early picture on how youths use mobile phones and what problems they 
  face in relation to this. The analyses performed show that youths use mobile 
  phones primarily to contact their families and for emergency purposes while 
  fast changes in terms of mobile phone models were cited among the main problem 
  faced in using mobile phones.
