phone F I C T I O N
The following statements
below about cell phones
are all not true or Fiction
. . .
"All Toll
Free Phone Calls Are Free"
Because you use "air
time" to call a toll
free number from your
cell phone, a fee is charged,
and more than one may
apply. Read your contract
or check with your provider
before making that toll
free call.
"Plan Changes
Are Impossible"
Cell phone plans have
numerous options, and
many companies are willing
to make changes from one
plan to another free of
charge during the length
of the contract. Ask your
provider if there is a
penalty or cancellation
fee before requesting
a change.
"Every Provider
Has the Same Off-peak
and Weekend Hours"
Many cell phone providers
offer unlimited off-peak
and weekend calling hours
as part of, or with, the
purchase of their standard
service plan. Be sure
to ask for a definition
of off-peak and weekend
hours. Times can vary
among providers.
"All Cell
Phones Can Be Used Worldwide"
Most developed and developing
countries have some form
of wireless telephone
service. The digital networks
used to provide this service
can differ from country
to country, with GSM (Global
System for Mobiles) being
the one commonly available
in Europe. To be able
to place a call while
you are outside the United
States, you must have
a digital cell phone that
is designed for use on
the network in the country
where you will be traveling.
Since the year 2000 modern
digital cell phones have
drawn a larger and larger
market share. Improved

Some telecommunications
scientists foresee comfortable,
more portable GSM VoIP
enabled cellphones. Some
will offer full Bluetooth

headset, and wall-projection
screens. They also think

options for a removable
memory card and a portable
