One hundred thirty seven Filipina domestic workers in Hong Kong participated in an investigation into cellular phone use as a medium of communication and as an instrument to levels of happiness. Most of them were middle-aged, college graduates, married, Roman Catholic and were into 6-10 years in their current jobs. Through interview and survey, the participants expressed feeling happy owning a cellular phone, which is associated with a certain level of life satisfaction. However, statistical findings showed that this did not significantly relate to their over-all high level of happiness. It was also found that there was a positive relationship between the extents to which calling was able to create relationships and facilitate disclosure about oneself and one’s happiness. The same was true with texting except between calling and facilitating disclosure about oneself. Maintaining relationships by calling and texting was found to be negatively related with happiness. Although participants believed the calling and texting could maintain rather than create relationships or aid in the disclosure of information about oneself, it was not found to significantly affect their levels of happiness.
