Indicators on the widespread use of information and communication technologies (ICT) limit the identification of gaps between different population groups. This exploratory work aims to find the relationships of mobile telephony with the performance of gender roles in Mexico, providing a quantitative approach to identify ways and intensities in which individuals living in heterosexual couple use and appropriate the cell phone. Primary information was generated by applying a survey in northern Mexico in a high-connectivity urban environment (the city of Hermosillo, Sonora). The results show the persistence of one of the forms of digital exclusion of women as well as redefinitions of gender hierarchies when identifying differences in access and use of ICT - particularly cell phone - not identifiable in data available in Mexico.

Keywords : ICT; digital gender gap; Sonora; México.
