That's enough for roughly 86 per cent of the planet's population.
The International Telecommunications Union (ITU), an agency within the United Nations, has reported that there are around six billion mobile phone subscriptions in the world.
According to the ITU, China alone accounts for one billion subscriptions, with India expected to hit the one billion mark by the end of this year.
The planet's population is estimated at seven billion.
The agency also says 2.3 billion people were internet users by the end of 2011, with 70 per cent of users living in wealthier, industrialised countries.
