[lbo-talk] cell phones & RDD

[Doug Henwood]

I asked the American Association for Public Opinion Research listserv 
what the problem was with the shift from land lines to cell phones, 
since cells can theoretically be reached with random digit dialing. 
The reason is that cell numbers aren't included in RDD generators 
because subscribers can be billed for incoming calls (though, these 
days, who ever uses up the thousands of minutes they're entitled 
to?). This has resulted in a loss of about 1% of potential households.
