because i said it. so... blah blaah blasah
The base station tower.
cellular or mobile 'phones are constantly talking to each other. The mobile is saying 'here i am' to the base station
Base station
The base station
You can be up to 300 ft away from the base station.
They are the directional microwave links between a base station or other tower in-case the physical telecommunication line gets severed
VTech phones offer new advances in home/office Telco solutions. One is the ability to have your cellular phone pair with the base station through the Blue Tooth pairing options. Another nice feature is the ability to add separate hand sets to the base station at any time. The additional hand sets added can be from 4 to 8 depending on the base station's capability.
Mobile telephones use numerous low power base stations to communicate. As a phone moves, it can transfer its connection from one base station to another so that calls are not dropped while travelling. The base stations are called cells and together form a cellular network. It is the base station technology that lent its name to the portable telephone in North America. Many other English speaking countries have different names for them with the term "mobile" being used in the UK for example.
As far as i know, the actual phone has to have 4G hardware in it and a 4G antenna to communicate with the upgraded 4G tower equipment. That's pretty much it. On the more technical side, 4G uses an entirely different air interface to communicate from mobile to base station.
The cellular telephone network is one of the most complex machines ever invented. Cells refer to a 'honeycomb ' of transmitters and receivers who can identify all the phones switched on in their area and log these into a global database of their locations. A fibre optic cable network and switching grid enable any phone in the world,using the GSM standard, to communicate. A phone 'pings' the base station to let it know where it is and when a call is made the nearest transmitter sends dial tone to the phone, logs it's number,signal strength and SIM details. The destination phone is then located by it's 'ping' and the call is routed via optical fibres and emerges at the nearest base station to the called phone. If the phone being called is in a moving car or train the call is set up and the signal strength is monitored by 2 stations or cells. When the signal becomes too weak for the active base station to carry the call it hands the call over to the next cell and so on up the highway or track side transceiver. This is just an overview., in reality it is much more complicated than this!

This is actually a standard cordless phone not a cell phone. The phone works on the 5.8 GHz frequency so interference should not be as much of an issue as if it were working on the 2.4 GHz frequency. Providing that the base station is plugged in and showing illuminated LED/ LCD display. The typical issues that would cause the error as described are: (1) the battery in the phone is barely functional. That is the battery has enough current to make the display work but not enough current / power to transmit and receive a signal from the base station. (2) the phone was dropped and the antenna was damaged inside the phone. (3) the phone was *de authenticated* from the base station. That is the base station no longer recognizes the handset. Many times this can be solved by placing the handset back in the primary base station's cradle / charging slot. (4) the least likely reason is that the base station has failed.
