How does a phone work?

Title explains the question.

 

Are you talking about just the end user instrument or the over all how a call is completed from end to end?

 

Everything. =)

 

Try again.

Ask specific questions. I'm not going to guess as to what information you are looking for.

If you want to just pop out generic questions then I will merely point you to various web sites such as:

I suugest you start with the article here:

Once you have educated yourself on a few basics, then get back to me with your speicif questions.

 

Fine =/......

 

Good lad.

You will feel better after researching it yourself. That way you won't be merely taking my word for it.

Once you get to the point of asking specific questions, just post them. I'll do my best to answer them.

 

you pay the phone company lots of money, thats how a phone works!

 

It does seem that way when the bill shows up don't it?

 

In the time it took to post here you could have Googled the answer. I was going to answer but I don't want to take the time to type out my Elec 1, 2, Comm 1, 2 and digital courses for you.

 

The lad was posting incorrect info in a union thread here about how cell phones work. I corrected him and he wanted to argue the point (so to speak).

I asked him to open a thread here... where it belongs.
