We are trying to justify our assumption that classroom teachers, especially teachers who do not have smartphones, have questions about mobile phones. We address ibid problem, a survey methodology was adopted, data were collected through online interviews with 250 college students and 30 teachers in nine Punjab divisions of Pakistan.
