The mobile phone (also called a wireless
phone or cellular phone) is a short-range, portable electronic device used for
mobile voice or data communication over a network of specialized base stations
known as cell sites. In addition to the standard voice function of a telephone,
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. Most current mobile phones connect to a
cellular network of base stations (cell sites), which is in turn interconnected
to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) (the exception is satellite
phones). »» |
