A '''cell phone''' is an electronic [[telecommunications]] device with the same basic capability as a conventional [[landline|fixed line]] [[telephone]], but which is also entirely [[portable]] and is not required to be connected with a wire to the [[Public Switched Telephone Network|telephone network]]. Most
current cell phones connect instead to the network using a wireless [[radio wave]] [[transmission (telecommunications)|transmission]] technology. The
cell phone communicates via a [[telecommunications network|network]] of [[base station]]s which are in turn linked to the conventional [[telephone]] network.

In addition to the standard voice function of a [[telephone]], a
cell phone can support many additional [[GSM services|services]] such as [[Short message service|SMS]] for text messaging, [[packet switching]] for access to the [[Internet]] and [[Multimedia Messaging System|MMS]] for sending and receiving photos and video.
