mobile phone:
A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone, cell phone and a hand phone) is a
device which can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link whilst moving
around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular
network provided by a mobile network operator. The calls are to and from the public
telephone network which includes other mobiles and fixed-line phones across the
world. By contrast, a cordless telephone is used only within the short range of a
single, private base station.
The first hand-held mobile phone was demonstrated by Dr Martin
Cooper of Motorola in 1973, using a handset weighing about 2 kg.
