Mobile phone
A mobile phone , cell phone or hand phone (short for mobile telephone , cellular telephone and handheld telephone respectively), sometimes shortened to simply mobile , cell or just phone , is a portable telephone that can make and receive calls over a radio frequency link while the user is moving within a telephone service area. The radio frequency link establishes a connection to the switching systems of a mobile phone operator , which provides access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Modern mobile telephone services use a cellular network architecture, and, therefore, mobile telephones are called cellular telephones or cell phones , in North America. In addition to telephony , 2000s-era mobile phones support a variety of other services , such as text messaging , MMS , email , Internet access , short-range wireless communications ( infrared , Bluetooth ), business applications, video games , and digital photography . Mobile phones offering only those capabilities are known as feature phones ; mobile phones which offer greatly advanced computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones .

A mobile phone is a telephone that can make and receive calls over a radio frequency carrier while the user is moving within a telephone service area. The radio frequency link establishes a connection to the switching systems of a mobile phone operator , which provides access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Modern mobile telephone services use a cellular network architecture, so mobile telephones are often called cellular telephones or cell phones . In addition to telephony , modern mobile phones support a variety of other services , such as text messaging , MMS , email , Internet access , short-range wireless communications ( infrared , Bluetooth ), business applications, gaming, and photography.

A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone , cell phone , hand phone , or simply a phone ) is a phone that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator , allowing access to the public telephone network . By contrast, a cordless telephone is used only within the short range of a single, private base station. |

A mobile phone (also called mobile , cellular telephone , or cell phone ) is an electronic device used for two-way radio telecommunication over a cellular network of base stations known as cell sites . Mobile phones differ from cordless telephones , which only offer telephone service within limited range through a single base station attached to a fixed land line, for example within a home or an office. |

A mobile phone or mobile (also called cellphone and handphone [1] ) is an electronic device used for mobile telecommunications ( mobile telephony , text messaging or data transmission) over a cellular network of specialized base stations known as cell sites . Mobile phones differ from cordless telephones , which only offer telephony service within a limited range, e.g. within a home or an office, through a fixed line and a base station owned by the subscriber and also from satellite phones and radio telephones . As opposed to a radio telephone , a cell phone offers full duplex communication, automatised calling to and paging from a public land mobile network ( PLMN ), and handoff (handover) during a phone call when the user moves from one cell (base station coverage area) to another. Most current cell phones connect to a cellular network consisting of switching points and base stations (cell sites) owned by a mobile network operator . In addition to the standard voice function, current mobile phones may support many additional services , and accessories , such as SMS for text messaging , email , packet switching for access to the Internet , gaming, Bluetooth , infrared , camera with video recorder and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video , MP3 player , radio and GPS . |

A mobile phone , also known as a cellular , mobile , or hand phone , is an electronic telecommunications device with the same basic capability as a conventional fixed line telephone , but which is also entirely portable and is not required to be connected with a wire to the telephone network . Most current mobile phones connect instead to the network using a wireless radio wave transmission technology. The mobile phone communicates via a network of base stations which are in turn linked to the conventional telephone network. |

A mobile phone is a device which behaves as a normal telephone whilst being able to move over a wide area ( cf. cordless phone which acts as a telephone only within a limited range). Mobile phones allow connections to be made to the telephone network , normally by directly dialling the other party's number on an inbuilt keypad. Most current mobile phones use a combination of radio wave transmission and conventional telephone circuit switching , though packet switching is already in use for some parts of the mobile phone network, especially for services such as internet access and WAP . |
