 | | Mobile phones are distinct from cordless telephones, which generally operate only within a limited range of a specific base station. |
 | | Until the late 1980s, most mobile phones were too large to be carried in a jacket pocket, so they were usually permanently installed in vehicles as car phones. |
 | | When the mobile 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. |
