What determines the kind of cell phone service in an area?

Someone told me that all the cell phone providers share the same towers(?) and that whether you have service or how strong / good the signal is at a particular location depends more on the phone that you have. Can someone explain?What determines the kind of cell phone service in an area?
well phone reception will vary by model, usually nokias and motorolas have a reputation for having the best reception, but individual companies need their own liscences to give service in any given area, and sometimes more than one company will put their equipment on the same tower, but when a company uses another companies tower thats usually considered roamingWhat determines the kind of cell phone service in an area?
Hi there.....



Your cell phone reception is determined on quite a few variables. First, how close you are to the nearest cell site is primary. Most of the larger cell companies don't actually own their own sites, but lease tower space from third-party companies (in that way, one tower can actually provide service for as many as 4-5 different companies). This is particularly true in larger cities where zoning regulations and space to put up new towers are most restrictive. But that's not the only consideration. Some phones are more sensitive to signal than others (in my experiences Nokia and Motorola are better with signal, but other companies do well also). Another important consideration is geography. It's harder to get signals in mountainous areas than flat land. Signals bounce wildly off of water masses, so reception is very unpredictable in the middle of a lake. Finally, buildings can also reflect signal in strange ways, so being in a large metro downtown with lots of glass buildings can be problematic depending on where the company's closest cell site is and what it has to go through to get to your phone.



Hope this helps!What determines the kind of cell phone service in an area?
FirstBase is right. To add to it. Every provider has different technologies and frequencies, these determine how far they can provide good signal strength. So some providers may be on the same towers but not all of them. Also budgeting and objectives are different with carriers, some may not build out in rural areas, some have deals with other carriers to roam onto another carriers network. This is why some carriers may be better than others in certain locations. The phone, as was mentioned, each has different performance.
1. Where ever you move i.e from one country to another your phone will automatically find the network service for you phone. For example, your mobile usually has your country's operator logo at the top, when you fly to another country, you will find your phone operator name has changed to that country's operator logo. The cell connects directly to another network within the location you are. Some countries only have one operator while others may have several.



2. I think having a good signal depends on the range of your phone. Some phone will work in some countries and some might not- depends on their range. You have to discuss these issues with the sales man when you buy the phone or research the technology on the net further. You can also see specifications and features for each mobile phone on their official websites-some of the websites go into detail about how mobiles work etc and how each feature is important.



The signal of your phone can sometimes be affected by various interferences, such as passing under a bridge or moving in a car ( sometimes)-- depends.

What is the difference between an animal cell and a plant cell?

What does the animal cell have that the plant cell doesn't have?

or

what does the plant cell have that the animal cell doesn't have?

Maybe like one of those ven diagrams?

鈾モ櫏What is the difference between an animal cell and a plant cell?
A plant cell has a cell wall and chloroplast.
Animals don't
Animal cell:

1. They are generally small in size.

2. Cell wall is absent.

3. Except the protozoan Euglena, no animal bell possesses plastids.

4. Vacuoles in animal cells are many and small.

5. They have a single highly complex and prominent Golgi apparatus.

6. They have centrosome and centrioles.



Plant cell:

1. They are larger than animal cells.

2. The plasma membrane of plant cells is surrounded by a rigid cell wall of cellulose.

3. Plastids are present.

4. Most nature plant cells have a large central par vacuole.

5. Plant cells have many simpler units of Golgi apparatus called dictyosomes.

6. Plant cells lack centrosome and centrioles.What is the difference between an animal cell and a plant cell?
(1) Plants cells have definite shape but animal cells have irregular shape.

(2) Plants cells stores food as starch whiles animal cells stores food as glycogen.

(3) Plants cells have large permanent vacuole and animal cells have small temporary vacuole.
plant cells have cell walls animal cells dont. plant cells have chloroplasts. animal cells dont. thats all i really rememberWhat is the difference between an animal cell and a plant cell?

What is the best standard cell phone on the market today ?

My major wants %26amp; needs are ; !- A higher volume control for my hearing / 2-a loud ringer / 3- non complicated operation to use / 4- just all around standard operation keys with a reasonable fee or cost?

I suffered a major hearing loss in Vietnam %26amp; at present wear H aids 75% of the time.

I am not familer with the cell phones of to day %26amp; plan on obtaining one this coming week.

But need the every day people inform me that actually know %26amp; not the paid advertisers %26amp; company's..

Thank You.What is the best standard cell phone on the market today ?
there are bluetooth adaptors which connects your mobile to hearing aids through the 'T' / telecoil switch on hearing aids.

by using it, u will hear sounds from mobile as per your hearing requirements.

check with ur audiologists.. they are less expensive than FM systems and easy to use.What is the best standard cell phone on the market today ?

LG produced a fantastic phone for people of mature age, or people that just plain like a simple cellular phone. Its called the LG Wine, and is through Bell Mobility in Canada. Its got large buttons, and very loud ringers, that can be set to vibrate, and fill the room with its sound. its a stylish phone, but only comes in canada.

How can I fix my cell phone battery that dies throughout the day?

Over the weekend I spilled a drink onto my phone. I took the phone apart, allowing it to dry out over night. I woke up in the morning, put it back together and it worked fine. After that day though the cell phone's battery dies much more quickly. What is wrong with it? What can I do, if anything, to fix it? How can I fix my cell phone battery that dies throughout the day?
purchase a brand new battery. the old one is wasted. Blow dry the phone in the back where the battery contacts are to make sure there is no moisture. How can I fix my cell phone battery that dies throughout the day?
Try a new battery?

How to change cell value in Excel based on the contents of another cell?

What I'd like to do is, say, put "47" into a cell A1, and have cell B1 display the contents of Sheet1!A47 (That is, become the formula =Sheet1!A47). Then if i change A1 to "55", B1 becomes Sheet1!A55, etcHow to change cell value in Excel based on the contents of another cell?
=indirect("Sheet1!A"%26amp;A1)How to change cell value in Excel based on the contents of another cell?
You can create a VBA function that will do it easily. (This is step-by-step if you aren't familiar with VBA). Try this:

Press Alt+F11.

Right click below "VBA Project" in the project window and click "Insert Module".

In the editor window, paste this function code:

--------------------------------------鈥?br>
Function Celllookup(Cell As Integer)



Value = Cells(Cell, 1)



Celllookup = Value



End Function

--------------------------------------鈥?br>


Now in B1 insert the formula "=Celllookup(A1)"



Now whatever number you type in A1 will produce the value of the cell from column A with that row number in B1.



Hope this solves your problem!

What is the cheapest way to buy a cell phone without buying a contract as well?

My boyfriend wants to add me to his plan. He can't renew his contract right now, so I just want a cell phone without a contract. How can I get a cell phone without spending a lot of money, since I don't need a new contract right now? Thank you.What is the cheapest way to buy a cell phone without buying a contract as well?
go on ebay and find something cheap. All kinds of prices are on there. Just beware that the expensive phones you see in the stores (like the iphone or blackberry) are still expensive on ebay. You also have to make sure that you can use the phone with the carrier. So, if your boyfriend has Verizon, you have to make sure that the phone can support Verizon's network. Likewise, if you have AT%26amp;T, you have to make sure that the phone has a sim card slot and can support the network.



but if you are being added to the plan, you are going to get a discount on the phones since its a new line



good luck.What is the cheapest way to buy a cell phone without buying a contract as well?
The only thing that comes to mind is prepaid or tmobile flex pay or Metro PCS if its in your area. No contract and you pay the bill each month, Go to tmobile.com or call them and ask about their flex play plan. With Metro PCS, it is unlimited for about $50 a month but its only capable in their coverage area. Go to Metropcs.com and see if you are in their coverage areaWhat is the cheapest way to buy a cell phone without buying a contract as well?
If you are being added to his plan, it's just adding a line, you can call the carrier, or stop by the store. You sign a 2 year contract, %26amp; get added to boyfriends account, you are eligible for cheaper prices of the phones!!!
get a prepaid. nearly every cell phone provider sells them. try target, walmart, best buy, circuit city (if your local one hasn't closed yet) or any other electronics retailer.

What would the cell do without the Mitochondria?

What would the cell do without the Mitochondria? I know that the mitochondria is like the power house of a eukaryotic cell because it generates ATP (energy) for the cell to use.

I'm doing a project on the Mitochondria and I need a good attention garbber? How does the mitochondria work on a regular daily basis?What would the cell do without the Mitochondria?
Mitochondria use glucose and turn it in to ATP for the cell. Also the Mitochondria generate heat for the cell so the cell stays alive. Without the Mitochondrin(plural form of Mitochondria) the cell would die.
Tip the person under me is not talking about mitochondria lysomes break down the food and dead cells.
I did a project on and animal cell an plant cell and got a hundred on both of them.What would the cell do without the Mitochondria?
They are organelles that act like a digestive system that takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy for the cell. The process of creating cell energy is known as cellular respiration. Their matrix is filled with water (H2O) and proteins (enzymes). Those proteins take food molecules and combine them with oxygen (O2). The mitochondria are the only place in the cell where oxygen can be combined with the food molecules. After the oxygen is added, the material can be digested. They are working organelles that keep the cell full of energy.



Blah blah etc...What would the cell do without the Mitochondria?
mitochondria is the site of aerobic respiration, most of the reactions of the aerobic pathway occur in the mitochondria. So basically, if there is no mitochondria , the aerobic respiratory pathway would be altered. It produces ATP continuously as our bodies require that energy to do simple work in our daily lives.
im not quite sure wht wud happen to a cell widout mitochondria. but some people with mitochondrial disease can suffer extremely mild symptoms or very severe and it can be at any age , and it can effect more than one organ in the body.And most of them have a high level of lactic acid (which is toxin) in the blood . you could relate these to the importance of mitochondria
Well our cells can also make ATP using fermentation. This produces far less ATP and uses up glucose making it into lactic acid, CO2 and water i think. that what happens when your muscles work anaerobically during intense exercise.

We would definitely die quite quickly though if we didn't have wou mitochondria. Acctually the poison cyanide works by inhibiting aerobic respiration in the mitochondria. In particular it inhibits the cytochrom C oxidase.

There is a great book on mitochondria, its called "Power, Sex, Suicide - Mitochondria and the meaning of life" by Nick Lane (don't worry, it not a dirty book). It is really great but I don't know how much time you have.

He acctually says that if it was not for mitochondria multicellular life could not have developed and bacteria would still be all there is...

Hope this gives you some ideas where to get started on your project :) good luck
