Cell Phone Questions

[sweetangel22]

I started this thread so members who reads this thread can ask questions they have about how certain features on cell phones work.

I know more than one person who owns a cell phone and I wanted to know more about how text messaging works on cell phones.

Do all cell phone brands and models allow text messaging?

Do any cell phone brands and models have a way for a person to know who sent the text message before the text message is opened, have a way for a person to delete a text message without having to open it first to delete a text message and have a way for a person to send the same exact text message to more than one person at the same time? If any of the things I mentioned in this paragraph can be done than how can any of these things be done on a cell phone.

There was once a time when there was no text messaging on cell phones so technically no. But now probably all brands/models have that feature.

To the member I am quoting how do you know that there was once a time when there was no text messaging on cell phones. Do you know what I asked in this paragraph of this post because you have used a cell phone that didn't allow text messaging or know someone who used a cell phone that didn't allow text messaging? If I am wrong on how you know that there was once a time when there was no text messaging on cell phones than let me know this?

To the member I am quoting I was wondering if you know what year text messaging was allowed on new cell phone models and brands that were made.

[stealth3si]

Because I used one before.

I wanted to let members who reads this post know that if you want to ask questions about cell phones that have nothing to do with a cell phone feature than I decided it's ok for members to ask those questions in this thread topic I started.

I was wondering if any member who reads this post knows the answers to any of the following below.

I was wondering if the following thing is considered a network. I was wondering what a number with a G after it is referring to for one or more brands and model cell phones. I was wondering why one or more cell phone brands and models have a number with a G after it.

[stealth3si]

'G' is considered a network.

[sweetangel22]

This is to the member stealth3si.

I was wondering if you know why 'G' is considered a network when referring to certain cell phone brands and models.

I was wondering if anyone who reads this post knows if a number with a G after it is referring to how fast a newtwork on some cell phone brands and models can send and receive data when using the internet on certain cell phone brands and models. If I am right on what I said in this paragraph of this post than if a cell phone is 4G than how fast is 4G on a certain cell phone brands and models.

[stealth3si]

1. 'G' is the letter used to identify a type of wireless computer network.

2. The higher the number the faster your connections will be but that doesn't necessarily equate to a higher network speed. It just means there is less traffic on the particular 'bandwidth/channel' in question, therefore the cell phone user has more bandwidth to use. Once more and more people jump on the 4G network, traffic will be more congested and speeds will probably be in the same range as the previous 3G network. Then a faster network (i.e., 5G) will most likely be introduced in the future and the whole process will repeat itself. Just my 2 cents.

I was wondering if anyone who reads this post knows the answers to any of the following.

I was wondering do all cell phone brands and models have a Caller ID feature.

I was wondering if there was ever a time when cell phones didn't have a Caller ID feature.

I was wondering does a cell phone have to ring at least one time in order for the Caller ID feature to show on the cell phone under missed calls the number that was used to call that cell phone. If I am right on what I asked in this paragraph of this post than does the cell phone have to be turned on for what I asked in this paragraph of this post to work.

I was wondering has anyone ever used a cell phone where a voicemail message said what date and or time the voicemail message was left. If what I mentioned in this paragraph of this post doesn't happen with cell phone voicemail messages than why is that.

To the member I am quoting why is G a type of wireless computer network.

I was wondering does only one cell phone company offer a G network.

To the member I am quoting whatis the difference between a connection speed and network speed.

[stealth3si]

Network speed is the max speed and connection speed is actual speed.

I was wondering if any member who reads this post knows the answers to either or both things below that I wanted to know about leaving messages on a cell phone and or land line phone.

I was wondering why it's called voicemail and not voice message when a person leaves a message for someone on a cell phone.

I was wondering why when a person leaves a message for someone on an answering machine that is connected to a land line phone number it's not called a answering machine message or something else. If I am wrong on a message left on a ansering machine that is connected to a land line phone is not called a answering machine message than let me know this.

[stealth3si]

To me they're all interchangeable terms.

It's tomato or tomahtoe.

[sweetangel22]

To any member who reads this post I was wondering if you know the answer to any of the following below related to making a phone call using a cell phone.

What I would like to know is why do the owner(s) of any cell phone company allow people to call 911 when that is a 3 digit number.

I was wondering if a cell phone battery is dead because it wasn't charged than can a person still make a call to 911 or a cell phone has to have some battery life for anyone to call 911 on it.

I was also wondering if any member who reads this post who uses or has ever used a cell phone to make a call did you ever have to put a 1 in front of a area code before the 7 digit number to make that phone call and if you have than how did you know to put a 1 in front of the area code of the number you were calling. I also would like to know if an area code is always needed to make a call on a cell phone even if the number a person is calling using a cell phone is a local number to the cell phone number a person is using to make a call from.

Is calling that number free?

To the member I am quoting what number are you referring to in the quote I am quoting from you for you to say what you said in the quote I am quoting from you.
