Finally! GSM has come to stay but then its effects cannot be overlooked. GSM has both positive and negative effects.
Positive effects: GSM has provided an easy and possibly shortest means of communication link between people at close and distant places, such that people can get and receive their messages across the country within few seconds or minutes.

GSM also serves as a means of livelihood. Across the country people engage themselves in opening up of business centers where telephone calls are made and received and the proceeds often times are very encouraging.

Offers employment opportunities: on a daily basis young men and women are being employed in business centers here and receiving calls for customers thus reducing the rate of unemployment.

In the past people use to travel long distances to deliver or receive messages most of them got involved serious accidents that resulted in loss of lives. Today with the use of GSM where people are not engaged in such distances, lots of lives are saved.

Gone are the days when people used to miss important interviews, ceremonies. Due to the lack of information on time. Today the use of GSM has really made people to be in tune with all the happenings in and around them as friends and relations will always call to relay any necessary information on time.

Negative effects: In spite of efforts by the law enforcement agents to stop people from receiving calls while on starring on a highway people continually give deaf ears to such instructions, the moments the phone rings the driver immediately rushes to receive the call and in most cases ends up causing terrible accidents for himself and other road users.

Many people are embarrassed when they loss their handset to young dubious men, they go about snatching handsets from people irrespective of place, time and date thus causing embarrassment to people as they can never recover all the stored phones numbers of friends, relations and business associates even when they buy new handsets. Even investors who want to invest in the economy of that society will be afraid to endanger his or herself from the happenings around.
