Towers were established so that cell phone calls could pass from one tower to
another tower. This process was approved by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) in 1968. Every city has a certain amount of cells that allows
phone calls to be made by way of the towers. Cell phone companies are then
given about 800 radio frequencies for each city they serve and the individual
activates a cell phone and pay for that service.
The first cell phones were heavy and bulky with green and orange display
numbers. Motorola named the first cell phone, the DynaTAC 800X. Today, a cell
phone can be easily placed in your pocket. In fact, new technology has enabled
the cell phone to take pictures and sent messages. The competition has become
so fierce among carriers that they boast about which carrier has the fastest
internet service and the best plans.
As we look into the future, we can all see that the cell phone has almost
replaced the telephone in millions of homes worldwide. People are on the go,
and they will not let their cell phone go!
