Understanding the world of cellular telephones: Part 1
Most users today have cell phones that rely upon Third Generation (3G) digital technology. Unlike 2G phones which could only transmit voice data (phone calls), 3G technology is capable of transferring all types of data including e-mails, text, and instant messages. 3G technology also supports WIFI and Internet access.
Manufacturers are currently going forward with plans to develop a Fourth Generation (4G) technology for cell phones. Developers are building upon and expanding the current technologies to provide faster information and data transfer and faster access to the Internet.
