How Do Cell Phones Work?

I have always wondered how cell phones really work. I thought I would research the topic and post my findings.

There are millions of people around the world using cell phones. People are even calling other countries from their cell phones. This is quite amazing to me. Can you imagine if there wasn't such a thing called a cell phone. For the older readers, remember when there was rotary phones. Back then when the newer phones came out with the "tone" option, millions were excited to not hear the noise for each number you dialed on a phone. Having a "tone" phone was cool. Now you are not cool to many if you don't have the latest cell phone out.

But have you really ever thought about how a cell phone works? Well, the answer mainly comes from what is called cell phone towers. These cell phone towers come in all sizes and shapes. It can also be referred to as a cell phone site. Here is the Wikipedia definition of a cell phone site

A cell site is a term used primarily in North America for a site where antennas and electronic communications equipment are placed to create a cell in a mobile phone network (cellular network).
