Nowadays, you will see almost everyone carrying a mobile phone. No matter whether it is pay as you go or on a contract, the mobile phone has become a necessity. This article will give you a brief on the importance of mobile phones and the technology used to make them operational.

3 G Technology
Mobile phones were introduced as a two way radio in the market a long time back. They were also known by the name of mobile rigs. Earlier, only ambulances, minicabs and police cars used to use these radios, which were mainly connected to the telephone network. Later on the technology improved and newer versions like transportable, called bag phones were introduced in the market.

1G was the name given to the first generation mobile phones. These phones were prevalent in the 1980’s and they continued to show their dominance until 2G mobile phones came out in the market. These phones were powered by digital networks. The 1G and 2G system makes use of digital signals to connect to the radio towers to the phone network, the voice gets encoded in digital signals during the phone call itself, whereas the 1G technology fail to do so. 2G phone came out in the market in nineties and created a storm in the market. 2G phone systems gained popularity because of their advanced and high speed network signaling.

The latest to be introduced are the third generation phones or 3G phones. This technology even though similar to the 2G technology, is far more popular than 2G. Introduction of 3G phones have allowed the phone users to access a large number of services, including wireless internet and video calls etc. With so much to offer, 3G technology is likely to stay around for some time. Ever since the introduction of 3G phones, there have been talks about the 4G technology. This technology will mark the future of mobile phone. If reports are to be believed than this technology will have the options for live streaming of TV shows and Radio, which will further enhance its utility.

Lastly, the mobile phones have undergone a great change ever since their introduction and they will continue to do so in future also.

But in the more energetic of the aforementioned pursuits, you'll find that a regular ol' one-eared headset won't do. They fall out.
