Abstract

This study examines factors that influence users' adoption of mobile services. Using data collected from mobile phone users in China, we compare adopters' and non-adopters' perceptions on mobile services using a general model. Structural equations modelling testing results show that perceived usefulness and perceived service cost affect mobile service adopters' and non-adopters' perceptions, while perceived trust and perceived trialability affect adopters' attitude towards continued usage and non-adopters' attitude towards usage differently. Our results have implications for mobile service providers in future product development and service improvements. Copyright © 2010 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
