From Longman Business Dictionary

mobile phoneˌmobile ˈphone British EnglishBrE, cellular phone (also cell phone American EnglishAmE)TELECOMMUNICATIONS

a phone that you can carry with you, which works by using a network of radio stations to pass on signals

On a mobile phone, you can speak to other people or send someone a text message, which is sent using a system called SMS (short messaging service) Most mobile phones have a camera, allowing you to take photographs or make a video, and some have an MP3 player for listening to music.

Third-generation mobile phones, which are often called smartphones, allow you to access the Internet using WAP (wireless action protocol) and to send and receive emails.

You can use a mobile phone on a pay-as-you-go basis, which means that you pay money in advance to get credit. When you have used up all your credit, you have to top up your phone (=pay more money) in order to continue using it. As an alternative, many people choose to have a contract instead. A contract usually lasts for a year or eighteen months and allows you to use your phone for a set number of minutes every month. For this service, you pay a monthly tariff (=fixed amount every month) and you are usually offered an upgrade (=a newer or better phone) when you renew your contract.
