If we buy a mobile phone,How much pay for it of percentage of our salary?

That's a silly question - phones vary in price from $11[^] to $8,000,000[^] (though you'd have to be a total tool to buy anything on that list), you get offers and deals, contracts, etc. And nobody I know thinks in terms of "% salary" when making a purchase of anything (except possibly a house where it's relevant because of a mortgage. And add to that that it also depends how often you change the phone: should it be seen as "% total salary for all the years I'll have it"?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
Well it's different in the 3rd world. There are often people who are considered middle class, making $300-ish a month. And a cell phone, a mid-level one, would be $200-ish. So you are talking 66% of their pre-tax monthly pay. So a phone purchase would be analogous to a car purchase in say the US.

He probably means there are mobile service plans where a smartphone is included without additional cost, but with a signed X-year/month contract.
