Results of the study are based on questionnaires completed in all respects by 196 participants (70.1% of total). Data were analyzed using SPSS. Results of study revealed that approximately 77% of respondents were using mobile as an extension tool continuously (in routine) and about 68% of the respondents were of the opinion that cell phone helped them meeting their needs and achieving their goals related to agriculture. However, approximately 77% of farmers did not subscribe to any extension services and about 67% intended to subscribe in the near future. Regarding the use of the cell phones for agricultural purposes, about 60% farmers were using them to determine the price of agricultural inputs (e.g. seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides). The study also revealed that about 50% farmers used their cell phones to obtain information through calls, SMS and WhatsApp with the means of 2.86, 2.40 and 2.31, respectively on a 1 to 5 scale.
