This study examines the use of the Global System
of Mobile Communication (GSM) among University students in
Malaysia. The survey approach was used in data collection from
a sample population from University Teknologi Malaysia. Fifty
undergraduate and post graduate students were sampled at the
university library. Results from a multiple regression analysis
shows that there is a significant relationship between age,
monthly income/allowance of respondents, marital status and
rate of calls made and received per day (P<0.05). Gender and
mode of study were found to be insignificant (P>0.05).Results
from t test equally indicate that the respondents do not vary in
their perception on benefits derivable from the use of GSM (t =
-.483, P >0.05).Majority of the respondents also agreed that they
use GSM to contact their lecturers, course mates, parents,
siblings and sending of short message services (SMS).The study
conclude with discussions on findings which would be relevant
to education policy makers and other interest partie
