Below average

There are approximately 1.8 (maybe over 2 now) mobiles per person in the UK. I think this refers to mobiles in use. We have ten in the house but only 4 are in use. They all work perfectly though - which is probably why I don't want to throw them away.
I heard on the radio that some of the old brick phones from the 80s are fetching up to a thousand pounds apiece.
As you might guess, I was stuck for a blip.
