A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone, cell phone, or a handset) is a device that can make and receive telephone calls over a wireless link while moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network.
The explosion of mobile phone usage in the last few decades is astounding. The number of users keeps increasing because this device helps to connect people together instantly. In 1988, there were approximately 500,000 mobile phone subscribers in the US; by 1993 this had grown to 13,000,000. By 2006, there were 223 million mobile phone users. At the end of 2011, there were over 6 billion mobile phone subscribers in the developing world. Almost every adult today has a mobile phone, and so do many children. Today, mobile phone penetration in the developing world is 79%, with Africa being the lowest region worldwide at 53%. -
