This study proposes a conceptual framework in which marketing elements are related to the dimensions of mobile phone brand loyalty, that is, customer satisfaction, brand awareness, and trust combined with brand attitude. The author surveyed 189 customers who use mobile phones in Vietnam. These hypotheses were tested empirically to demonstrate the applicability of the theoretical model. The results indicate that customer satisfaction exerts a stronger influence than trust on brand loyalty. Customer satisfaction and brand awareness were also indirectly related to trust. Finally, the study gives the managerial and theoretical implications drawn from these results.

As a assistant professor in National Chung Cheng University in Taiwan, the Republic of China, I have a focus on develop community wide awareness and understanding in “science communication” in the contryside area in Chia-yi county. We often found that the “underground” radio stations disseminate imporor scientific knowledge that sounds correct but in fact a twisted advertisment type of “drug selling” programs. That makes citizen’s health in danger.
