A wireless telephone that sends and receives messages using radiofrequency energy in the 800-900 megahertz portion of the radiofrequency (RF) spectrum.
Another name for a mobile phone, commonly used in the U. S. of A. If you want to be really American, you'd just call it "my cell" - as long as 'my' sounds more like 'ma'.
A two-way radio system allowing connection to the landline telephone network. Uses a huge number of base stations organised in a cellular layout. 98% of the population in the UK is within range of this system although actual land area covered is closer to 75%. Coverage in lightly populated areas is poor. Maximum range from a base station is absolute at 35km.
Low-powered, duplex, radio/telephone that operates between 800 and 900 MHz, using multiple transceiver sites linked to a central computer for coordination. The sites, or “cells,†cover a range of one to six or more miles in each direction.
