A mobile phone is a transmitter and receiver that both work at the same time. There are also 'cell' towers placed less than 10 miles apart to receive the signal from the mobile phone, and to send out signal to the phone. When a call is made, the phone number is transmitted from the mobile phone to the cell tower, which connects the signal to regular telephone lines. When the person on the other end answers, their voice is transmitted from the cell tower to the mobile phone, and whatever is said on the mobile phone is transmitted to the cell tower and then over telephone wires to the person on a regular phone.

∙ 11y agoWhen you place a cellular phone call, you dial the number and press the send button. A number of steps then follow:
1. Your cell <a href=mobile-freeware.blogspot.com>phone</a> scans for the nearest base station in order to provide it with the strongest signal and, in turn, the best possible connection. It checks 21 different control channels to determine the strongest available signal.
2. Your cell phone then selects the strongest signal for its use.
3. An origination message (a very short message of about ¼ second in length) is then sent by the cellular phone, which includes its MIN (Mobile Identification Number, that is, your cellular phone number), as well as the ESN (Electronic Serial Number), and the number that has been dialed.
4. Once the cellular service provider verifies that you are among its customers - based on the sent-out MIN and ESN - the base station sends a channel assignment message to the cellular phone (another ¼ of a second in length), telling the phone where the conversation will be.
5. The cell phone then tunes into that assigned channel and the call begins.
All of this has happened by the time you hear the ringing or busy signal on the other end of the phone.
