Portable (cell) phones are low-power devices - they have a limited range. Each mobile-phone communicates with at least three mobile 'masts' to establish its location so the network can keep the call connected. These masts cover a set area - or 'cell' (which is why americans call them cell-phones). The masts communicate with each other to connect the call to its destination.
