According to the report first- and second-hand experience of mobile phone crime is highest among five- to 20-year-olds. Aside from theft 27 per cent have been or know victims of muggings and 22 per cent have been or are associated with victims of bullying via mobile phone.
The findings support those by Halifax Home Insurance last month which claimed that on average one mobile phone is stolen every 12 seconds in the UK alone.

Khan had been charged with three counts of arson and threats to kill. Khan´s solicitors Imran Khan & Partners claimed that the three fires which occurred at the premises of a former business associate of Nasir Khan´s in east London in 2003 were insurance jobs by the claimant.
The case had been ongoing for two years.
Nasir Khan said: "People were quick to make judgements but they should have looked at the facts which show that I am innocent."
Ahmet Ratip solicitor at Imran Khan & Partners said: "The case was withdrawn because of a complete lack of evidence. Mr Khan has always vigorously contested the accusations. There was a complete failure by the prosecution and the police to produce evidence against Mr Khan. It was an idle prosecution from day one."

Alternative Networks James Murray CEO commented: "Results have been very strong. Our turnover is up 43 per cent. It is our 12th profitable year and mobile represents about half of our turnover."
The acquisition of mobile service provider Integrated Communications for Business (ICB) has contributed to the profits. Alternative Networks chief financial officer Edward Spurrier commented: "ICB is based in Reading and when we bought it had a £40 billion turnover. In the past year we´ve been busy integrating it into Alternative Networks. Of the 66 per cent underlying operating profits growth over a third has been organic."
Murray added: "Next steps involve moving towards a more converged phone system including fixed-line mobile and VoIP. We also hope to make acquisitions in fixed-line or mobile to ensure continued profitability and growth."
Alternative Networks has doubled its corporate mobile subscribers to 37589 compared with last year´s figure of 17518 while churn has been reduced to 16 per cent from 24 per cent.

Anuj Khanna marketing manager at mobile software company Netsize was elected last week as MDA director of mobile media. He is joined by Ed Williams of T-Mobile as MDA public sector director and Mike Hawkes of mobile billing company 2ergo as MDA director of mobile payment mechanisms.
"Data revenues represent more than 20 per cent of most network operator revenues" said MDA chairman Mike Short. "More than 32 billion text messages were sent in 2005 across the UK. Consumers have led this growth but there is still a lot of untapped opportunity for mobilising the enterprise and public sectors."

The partnership runs from August for three years and will see the LG brand displayed on new LED digital perimeter boards and on 450 LCD screens inside Arsenal´s new Emirates Stadium.
LG Mobile head of marketing John Bernard said: "We stated earlier this year that we will increase our presence in football and are very excited to be working with Arsenal after pursuing a number of opportunities."
LG Mobile´s other handset partners are Liverpool and Fulham. The manufacturer is currently putting together a full marketing campaign including advertising and promotional activities.
Arsenal managing director Keith Edelman said: "More than ever we are in a position to offer premium benefits to blue-chip brands."

It is the first time paperless tickets have been used at an event of this size in the UK.
O2 UK head of sponsorship Paul Samuels said: "It shows music fans are embracing mobile as a means to enhance their festival experience."
Mobi-tickets save festivalgoers money on booking and delivery fees. A barcode is sent to a user´s phone and then scanned on entry.
Samuels added: "Whether it´s streaming live audio clips to their handset delivering paperless tickets to their mobile or immersing customers in music O2 is placing music in the hands of its customers where it belongs."
Bluetooth posters have been set up across the festival site offering free music downloads to O2 customers. Users will also be able to text WIRELESS to 60600 to receive backstage gossip from the festival by SMS and MMS.

Higginson is considering taking legal action.
He was asked to leave the group with immediate effect in an e-mail on June 11 though he remains Monstermob´s biggest single shareholder with a 16 per cent stake.
Higginson said: "I am disappointed at the way I have been removed by the board. I am presently taking legal advice."
Monstermob managing director Niccolo de Masi takes over as CEO.
Monstermob has operations in 26 countries. Its acquisition strategy is based on the principle that mobile will be the way customers access digital content in developing markets where there is limited access to broadband Internet.
Monstermob chairman Hans Snook said: "The great bulk of Monstermob´s business and potential now lies far from the UK and this is likely to become even more true. The board changes reflect this and best meet the needs of the group for the future.
"Martin had the vision to identify and establish a significant business opportunity and we wish him very well in all his future ventures."

Cottesloe School in Wing is encouraging its pupils to text for help when they get stuck on their studies. Deputy head David Stevinson thought up the Text Mentoring´ system and then approached O2 for technical and financial support to implement the pilot scheme.
"We´re always excited when our customers come up with innovative ways to use mobile technology to help their community" said O2 general manager for business sales Ben Dowd.
O2 helped Stevinson develop a web site to receive text messages and keep a record of answers for other students to refer to.
Initial trials with the school´s science department showed students given text mentoring improved their test results by up to 55 per cent.
Stevinson added: "I know many schools don´t approve of mobile phones in the classroom but that shouldn´t stop us from exploring ways to use them."

"People used to buy a mobile based on its function and style but colour is becoming more important than ever for making an individual statement" said Orange UK devices director Matthew Kirk.
To this end fashion designer Andrew Groves has been recruited as a spokesman for the network. He said: "Bringing colour choice to fashion mobile has become an important style statement and one that just like your wardrobe can be changed for the seasons."
Kirk added: "Two or three years ago you would never have seen a white or purple phone. By the end of the year we hope at least 25 per cent of our range will feature red pink blue and other combinations."
The violet Motorola is available from Orange stores now and the white Nokia 6233 from the beginning of July. Both are free with a £25 Orange contract.
