IIRC they were also called cell phones in the UK back when analogue cellular systems were new, complete with diagrams of hexagonal cells covering the countryside. Mention of cell or cellular has fallen out of use in the UK to be replaced by "mobile". But language keeps moving on and for younger people (say, teens and twenties) mobiles may just be referred to as "phones" now, as landline phones are something only their parents will have. Young people who think hand-held communication devices are for texting and have no idea that it's possible to make a voice call? |
