Introdução: a prevalência da dependência do telefone celular (nomofobia) está aumentando em todo o mundo. Porém, na América Latina, este assunto e os fatores relacionados são desconhecidos até hoje. O papel da nomofobia na agressividade, a personalidade antissocial e as perturbações emocionais em adolescentes foi reconhecido recentemente. Material e métodos: Incluíram-se estudantes universitários de Veracruz, México. Aplicou-se a MPPUS (Mobile Phone Problematic Use Scale, siglas em inglês): uma escala de Likert com 27 itens. Utilizaramse os percentis 15, 80 e 95 para estabelecer quatro categorias: usuários ocasionais, habituais, em risco e problemáticos. Compararam-se os valores obtidos com diversas variáveis sociodemográficas. Realizou-se a análise estatística por meio do teste U de Mann-Whitney e um ANOVA unidirecional. Resultados: Incluíram-se 541 estudantes com idades entre 18 e 25 anos (média de 20,5 anos); o número de anos usando um telefone celular foi maior que 5 em 73% (n=395). O número de horas de uso por dia foi de pelo menos 3 em 75,2% (n=407). 16,5% podem ser considerados usuários em risco, e 4,1% usuários problemáticos. Encontrou-se uma associação estatisticamente significante entre o valor da MPPUS e o número de horas de uso por dia, assim como o número de anos usando um telefone celular (p <0,05). Conclusão: A prevalência de dependência do telefone celular é semelhante à relatada em outros países em desenvolvimento; o número de horas de uso por dia e o número de anos usando um telefone celular podem se considerar fatores preditivos na população.
