Is there any difference between CELL phones and MOBILE phones?

Answer 1

cell phone is used exclusively in the US/Canada. rest of the world usually call them mobiles (the Austrians call them Handy phones)

They are the same thing. In the USA, the actual technology is different. The US use CDMA and some GSM, most of the world uses GSM.

However both technologies are cellular (the handset talks to a base station with each base station looking after a cell.)

Answer 2

From the many many years i've been in the cell phone business, i would have the simply answer NO.

Cell phone is what us americans use.
Other parts of the country tend to lean more towards MOBILE phones.

Many foreigners have come to my store, and asked about MOBILE phones, not cell phones.

It is simply just a different name.

Answer 3

Cell phone referes to the technology in which the coverage area is divided into "cells" with a fixed transmitter station serving each cell. It's a newer technology compared to the early mobile phone technologies that used one base station to serve much larger coverage areas and had limited capacity. Since today we don't have that kind of early network anymore, the two are the same. Just different names.

Answer 4

NO, it's the exact same, the correct term is mobile phone, not cell phone, a cell phone is the old, old stuff, those huge phones that came out at first, they no longer exist, just all the new mobil phones, small and they are also called digital mobil phone.

Answer 5

Nothing, they are just different names for the same thing.

Answer 6

no difference, still mean the same thing.

Answer 7

no
