One of the earliest descriptions can be found in the 1948 science fiction novel <i><a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Cadet" title="Space Cadet">Space Cadet</a></i> by <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Heinlein" title="Robert Heinlein" class="mw-redirect">Robert Heinlein</a>. The protagonist, who has just traveled to Colorado from his home in Iowa, receives a call from his father on a telephone in his pocket. Before leaving for earth orbit, he decides to ship the telephone home "since it was limited by its short range to the neighborhood of an earth-side [i.e. terrestrial] relay office." Ten years later, an essay by <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_C._Clarke" title="Arthur C. Clarke">Arthur C. Clarke</a> envisioned a "personal transceiver, so small and compact that every man carries one." Clarke wrote: "the time will come when we will be able to call a person anywhere on Earth merely by dialing a number." Such a device would also, in Clarke's vision, include means for global positioning so that "no one need ever again be lost." Later, in <i>Profiles of the Future</i>, he predicted the advent of such a device taking place in the mid-1980s.<sup id="cite_ref-profiles_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-profiles-6"><span>[</span>6<span>]</span></a></sup></p> <p>Early predecessors of cellular phones included analog radio communications from ships and trains. The race to create truly portable telephone devices began after World War II, with developments taking place in many countries. The advances in mobile telephony have been traced in successive <i>generations</i> from the early "0G" (zeroth generation) services like the <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_System" title="Bell System">Bell System</a>'s <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Telephone_Service" title="Mobile Telephone Service">Mobile Telephone Service</a> and its successor, <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improved_Mobile_Telephone_Service" title="Improved Mobile Telephone Service">Improved Mobile Telephone Service</a>. These "0G" systems were not cellular, supported few simultaneous calls, and were very expensive.</p> <p>The first handheld mobile cell phone was demonstrated by <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola" title="Motorola">Motorola</a> in 1973. The first commercial automated cellular network was launched in Japan by <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nippon_Telegraph_and_Telephone" title="Nippon Telegraph and Telephone">NTT</a> in 1979. In 1981, this was followed by the simultaneous launch of the <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Mobile_Telephone" title="Nordic Mobile Telephone">Nordic Mobile Telephone</a> (NMT) system in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span>[</span>7<span>]</span></a></sup> Several other countries then followed in the early to mid-1980s. These first generatiion ("1G") systems could support far more simultaneous calls, but still used analog technology.</p> <p>In 1991, the second generation (<a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2G" title="2G">2G</a>) <i>digital</i> cellular technology was launched in Finland by <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiolinja" title="Radiolinja">Radiolinja</a> on the <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM" title="GSM">GSM</a> standard, which sparked competition in the sector, as the new operators challenged the incumbent 1G network operators.</p> <p>Ten years later, in 2001, the third generation (<a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G" title="3G">3G</a>) was launched in Japan by <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTT_DoCoMo" title="NTT DoCoMo">NTT DoCoMo</a> on the <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCDMA" title="WCDMA" class="mw-redirect">WCDMA</a> standard.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span>[</span>8<span>]</span></a></sup> This was followed by 3.5G, 3G+ or turbo 3G enhancements based on the <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Packet_Access" title="High-Speed Packet Access" class="mw-redirect">high-speed packet access</a> (HSPA) family, allowing <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Mobile_Telecommunications_System" title="Universal Mobile Telecommunications System">UMTS networks</a> to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity.</p> <p>By 2009, it had become clear that, at some point, 3G networks would be overwhelmed by the growth of bandwidth-intensive applications like streaming media.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span>[</span>9<span>]</span></a></sup> Consequently, the industry began looking to data-optimized 4th-generation technologies, with the promise of speed improvements up to 10-fold over existing 3G technologies.

Being distracted while operating a motor vehicle has been shown to increase the risk of accidents. Because of this, many jurisdictions prohibit the use of mobile phones while driving. Egypt, Israel, Japan, Portugal and Singapore ban both handheld and hands-free use of a mobile phone; others —including the UK, France, and many <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictions_on_cell_phone_use_by_US_drivers" title="Restrictions on cell phone use by US drivers" class="mw-redirect">U.S. states</a>—ban handheld phone use only, allowing hands-free use.</p> <p>Due to the increasing complexity of mobile phones, they are often more like mobile computers in their available uses. This has introduced additional difficulties for law enforcement officials in distinguishing one usage from another as drivers use their devices. This is more apparent in those countries which ban both handheld and hands-free usage, rather than those who have banned handheld use only, as officials cannot easily tell which function of the mobile phone is being used simply by looking at the driver. This can lead to drivers being stopped for using their device illegally on a phone call when, in fact, they were using the device for a legal purpose such as the phone's incorporated controls for car stereo or <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satnav" title="Satnav" class="mw-redirect">satnav</a>.</p> <p>A recently published study has reviewed the incidence of mobile phone use while cycling and its effects on behaviour and safety.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span>[</span>33<span>]</span></a></sup></p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Mobile_banking_and_payments">Mobile banking and payments</span></h3> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width:222px;"><a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mobile_payment_01.jpg" class="image"><img alt="" src="//web.archive.org/web/20150320085412im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/Mobile_payment_01.jpg/220px-Mobile_payment_01.jpg" width="220" height="135" class="thumbimage" srcset="//web.archive.org/web/20150320085412im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/Mobile_payment_01.jpg/330px-Mobile_payment_01.jpg 1.5x, //web.archive.org/web/20150320085412im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/Mobile_payment_01.jpg/440px-Mobile_payment_01.jpg 2x" data-file-width="695" data-file-height="426"/></a> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"><a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mobile_payment_01.jpg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"></a></div> Mobile payment system</div> </div> </div> <div class="hatnote relarticle mainarticle">Main articles: <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_banking" title="Mobile banking">Mobile banking</a> and <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_payment" title="Mobile payment">Mobile payment</a></div> <div class="hatnote boilerplate seealso">See also: <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branchless_banking" title="Branchless banking">Branchless banking</a> and <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contactless_payment" title="Contactless payment">Contactless payment</a></div> <p>In many countries, mobile phones are used to provide <a href="/web/20150320085412/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_banking" title="Mobile banking">mobile banking</a> services, which may include the ability to transfer cash payments by secure SMS text message.
