Cell
Phones
The
mobile phone, cellular phone, or simply cell phone is a long-range,
portable electronic device used for mobile communication that
uses a network of specialized base stations known as cell
sites. In addition to the standard voice function of a telephone,
current mobile phones can support many additional services
such as SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for
access to the Internet, 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).
