I know there was a system where 1 cell phone can be tied into a home phone system where the number works on multiple phones throughout the house similar to traditional land lines currently available.

I see it all the time! I see people blabbing on their cell phones while they’re paying the cashier. I see them answer their cell phones in the movie theaters! I have a cell phone myself, but my life doesn’t revolve around it. The way I see it, if a call is important enough and I’ve missed it, the caller can always leave a voicemail message. Why don’t other people have lives outside their cell phones?

I am looking for a book, e-book, online resource or some kind of resource material that has information on how cell phones work and each individual component (generically of course), down to what each piece on the motherboard is and does. Where can I find something anything like this?
I’ve been to How Stuff Works, so don’t mention that one. I don’t want some summaries of the system and their connections to towers. I want a detailed list and diagram of components, how they are assembled and what they do. I want details and technical information.

I searched for quite some time on Google and couldn’t find my answer.

Will someone with Alltel prepaid (and regular) cell phones still be able to use them when Verizon takes over Alltel at the end of the year?

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

I will pick best answer.

Make sure your answer is detailed. I want to know exactly how it works. I’ve never owned a cell phone before, so I have no idea. Do minutes ever expire? If you have no minutes, can your phone still recieve incoming calls? If someone else phones you, does that conversation still use up minutes? What about text messaging? What about long-distance phone calls? Are long-distance text messages any different than local text-messages? Are there any special Sunday rates?

Please describe everything in detail — I’m completely clueless.
My phone will not be for every day chatting, it will be for three minute conversations about where we are going to meet, and emergencies.

I don’t understand the difference between certain features on a cell phone. I know some pda cell phones work on a Windows mobile platform, and others work on the palm OS platform. What do Blackberrys operate on?

Can someone please help me telling me the best websites to fin cheap and unlocked cell phones?? Thanks in advance!
