 Cellular Telephony
When talking on a cellular phone, or even when using a normal phone and talking to somone on a cellular phone, the conversation is being broadcast, and can be easily intercepted.
The average cellular phone is capable of doing a lot more than just being set up for service and used the way the cellular providers intend them to be.
The newly programmed cellular phone can now be used as if it were the original, and any calls made on it would be billed to the person owning the valid phone with the ESN and MIN pair.

 CHAPTER IV: THE CELLULAR TELEPHONE
Cellular systems also facilitate the widespread use of portable mobile phones, as opposed to larger vehicle-mounted units that were the most common type of mobile unit in the pre-cellular era.
In early cellular designs, it was assumed that it would be necessary to monitor the physical location of each mobile unit and assign it to the geographically nearest cell base station to prevent mobile units from interfering with other units in nearby cells.
The case dealing with cellular telephony presented a challenge to the experiment in that the original technology was almost entirely developed by industrial research efforts and therefore had very limited visibility in terms of the open published literature.

 Cellular Telephony in Chile
With the old system, the individual receiving a call on his or her cellular phone was required to pay per minute, generally the same rate as if he or she initiated the phone call.
Telephony is a technology with network externality in the sense that its utility increases as more people use it, and it would appear that it will take a firm hold in the lifestyles of the new generation.
The evidence elsewhere in the world is that means of communication such as cellular phones have democratizing effects (as in the case of People Power II in the Philippines), and its broad dissemination is therefore essential to the democracy project.

 Mobile phone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most current mobile phones connect to a cellular network of base stations (cell sites), which is in turn interconnected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) (the exception are satellite phones).
Fully automatic cellular networks were first introduced in the early to mid 1980s (the 1G generation).
When the cellular phone or data device is turned on, it registers with the mobile telephone exchange, or switch, with its unique identifiers, and will then be alerted by the mobile switch when there is an incoming telephone call.

 Cellular network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cellular network is a radio network made up of a number of radio cells (or just cells) each served by a fixed transmitter, known as a cell site or base station.
Cellular networks are inherently asymmetric with a set of fixed main transceivers each serving a cell and a set of distributed (generally, but not always, mobile) transceivers which provide services to the network's users.
The increased capacity in a cellular network, compared with a network with a single transmitter, comes from the fact that the same radio frequency can be reused in a different area for a completely different transmission.
