How Cell Phones Work

Cell phones, also known as mobile phones, have become an essential part of daily life for billions of people around the world. These small, portable devices allow us to communicate with each other, access the internet, and perform a wide range of other functions, all from the palm of our hand. They work by communicating with cellular towers through radio waves. These towers are connected to the telephone network and the internet, allowing the phone to make calls, send texts, and access the internet. Cellphones also have a variety of built-in features such as cameras, GPS, and apps that use the internet connection to function. The phone sends and receives information through the antenna and is powered by a rechargeable battery.
