Mobile Phone

In contrast to a fixed-location phone (landline phone), a mobile phone (cellphone, etc.)[a] is a

portable telephone that can make and receive calls through a radio frequency link while the
user is traveling within a telephone service area. The radio frequency link creates a connection
with a mobile phone operator's switching infrastructure, granting access to the PSTN (public
switched telephone network). In North America, mobile phones are referred to as cellphones
(or "cell phones") since modern mobile telephone services utilize a cellular network design.
Digital mobile phones support a wide range of other services in addition to calling, including
text messaging, multimedia messaging, email, Internet access (via LTE, 5G NR, or Wi-Fi), short-
range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), satellite access (navigation, messaging
connectivity), business services, and more.
