Abstract: The study examines the state of the practice of the cell phone usage in Ondo State and its effects on travel behaviour of six hundred respondents who were purposively selected from six major towns. This was because controversies surrounded the potentials of cell phone usage as a means of reducing inter-urban travels than when one is using automobiles. Therefore, questions relating to socio-economic background of respondents, effect of cell phone usage on physical travels as well as how it affects pattern of travel of respondents were asked. Findings revealed that people prefer making interaction using their mobile phones than embarking on physical travels. Weekly and seasonal travels have been reduced, while calls have grown astronomically. This has made commuters to spend more on buying recharge cards to enable them make more contacts rather than embark on physical contacts. The cell phone usage has therefore afforded the consumers the opportunity to interact with friends, relations, workers and neighbours without necessarily embarking on any journeys. This mode of contact according to respondents has reduced the frequency of commercial vehicles on the road as well as the frequency of accident occuring on the roads. However, unreliable network of one GSM or the other and the importance attached to calls has made people to patronize more than one GSM (network) in order to link the world at any point in time. This has exerted additional strains on the resources (disposable income) income of the people of Ondo State.
