Sending text messages from a wireless carrier’s Web site is also an option to get your message out to a mobile phone user. When you don’t have a mobile phone or you’re on your computer already and just want to get a quick note out, the Web site is the way to go. Here’s how to do it from the Web: 1. Go to your friend’s wireless carrier’s Web site from your home, school, or office computer. To use most Web-to-mobile text messaging services, you need to know which wireless carrier your friend uses. 2. Look for the Messaging (or Text Messaging or Send a Text) page on the wireless carrier’s Web site. 3. Enter the person’s mobile phone number, enter your 160 alphanumeric character message, enter your name and contact details as requested, and then click Send. You need to know the exact mobile phone number of the person you want to send your text message to. (You usually need all ten phone number digits; for example, 222-333-1234.) If you did everything correctly, you see a confirmation screen showing that your text message was sent to the mobile phone number you entered. It usually takes less than 30 seconds, on a good day, to reach your friend’s mobile phone. Service fees for the text messages you send through the Web may be charged to the recipient based on their wireless carrier subscription plan. Check with your friends and associates to find out whether they have to pay for messages before sending them messages.

There are several categories of cellular telephone. Mobile units are mounted in a vehicle. Transportable units can be easily moved from one vehicle to another. Pocket phones, weighing in at less than 4 ounces, can be conveniently carried in a jacket pocket or purse. There are even cellular telephones that can be worn. Regardless of how they are packaged, cellular telephones consist of the same basic elements. Handset/Keypad The handset and keypad provide the interface between the user and the ...

Location-Reporting Technology Mobile phone companies are under orders from the FCC to incorporate location-reporting technology into cellular phones. Dubbed E-911, or enhanced 911, the initiative is meant to provide law enforcement and emergency services personnel with a way to find people calling 911 from mobile phones when callers do not know where they are or are unable to say. Since no carrier was able to make an October 2001 deadline to fully implement E-911, the FCC issued waivers permitti...
3. The Main Protocols used by Mobile Phones (SMS EMS MMS WAP)
Short Message Service (SMS) Short Message Service (SMS) is a text message service that enables the transmission of short messages between a cell phone, PDA, PC, or any device with an Internet protocol (IP) address. Since this service was standardized in the mid 1990s, it has recorded tens of billions of messages and is being used worldwide. SMS was introduced in the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and later adopted by other mobile communication systems such as Time Division Multiple Access (TDM...
4. What is Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS)
Before the age of digital services, the predominant technology for analog cellular phone services in North America adhered to a set of standards for Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS). Originally, AMPS operated in the 800-MHz frequency band using 30-kHz-wide channels. Avariant of AMPS, known as Narrowband AMPS (NAMPS), uses 10-kHz-wide channels and consequently has triple the capacity of AMPS. Although AMPS or a variation of AMPS is still around— chances are that your cellular phone allows you to switch bet...
Although cellular phones and cordless phones are both wireless, they have come to assume quite distinct and separate applications based on their areas of use and the differing technologies developed to meet user requirements. Cellular and cordless are implemented with their own standardsbased technologies. Briefly, cellular telephones are intended for off-site use. The systems are designed for a relatively low density of users. In this environment, macrocellular technology provides wide area coverage and t...
6. What are Cell Sites
Acellular system operates by dividing a large geographic service area into cells and assigning the same frequencies to multiple, nonadjacent cells. This is known in the industry as “frequency reuse.” As a subscriber travels across the service area, the call is transferred (handed off) from one cell to another without noticeable interruption. All the base stations in a cellular system, including radio towers, are connected to a mobile telephone switching office (MTSO) by landline or microwave links. The MT...
7. Short Introduction in Cellular Data Communications
One of the oldest services for sending data over a cellular communications network is known as “Cellular Digital Packet Data” (CDPD), which provides a way of passing Internet Protocol (IP) data packets over analog cellular voice networks at speeds of up to 19.2 kbps. Although CDPD employs digital modulation and signal processing techniques, the underlying service is still analog. The medium used to transport data consists of the idle radio channels typically used for Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) cel...
