The telephone, for instance would be used with the presumption or assumption that two people have broken the barriers of space in their interaction. This will shape the structure of the exchange between interlocutors. The revolution in telephony has however been taken a notch higher with the evolution of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), which makes it possible for interlocutors to mobilely interact with their points of respective location and expectedly, their view-points constantly changing. The general preoccupation of linguistic pragmatics allows for the interrogation of the peculiarity of language use in the context of mobile telephony. The goal of this paper is to examine how interlocutors utilize the instrumentality of indexical expressions, which in general terms are said to be some of the most salient features by which pragmatic connections are established in the structure of conversational exchanges (Lyons 1981, Leech 1993, Levinson 1993, Mey 2001), to encode their locations relative to their co-interlocutors and to other mutually shared locations, persons and times. Using data from mobile telephone exchanges in Nigeria, the paper asserts that the use of indexicals in mobile telephone conversations differs markedly from their use in other language situations. <br/>REFERENCES<br/> Lyons, J.
