MOBILE PHONES

A mobile phone, also known as a cell phone, cellular, cell, mobile, hand phone or even simply a 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. It is a wireless and compact, easy to use item.
