1. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876 and his invention helped enable the development of wireless radio and later cellular phones. 2. Cell phones work by transmitting radio signals to nearby cellular towers, which are connected through wires, fiber optics, or microwaves to a central switching station that directs calls within a given area to other cell phones or landlines. 3. Cellular towers vary in their reception range but there are usually multiple towers in an area to handle increasing call volume as people rely more on mobile devices to communicate.
