Mobile phones are the best way to interact with different services maintaining
mobility. Over the last few years, such services have been notably incremented.
Voice service (calls) and text messages (SMS) are still the basic services provided
by mobile phones, but these services are now complemented with other services
including voice mailbox, call conference, and video conference (Fig. 11.2 ).
Current mobile phones offer users numerous services (see Fig. 11.3 ) that can be
classified under several groups:
l Voice (voice services, voice mailbox, and call diverting)
l Text Messages (short text messages and multimedia messages)
l Leisure (games, internet, and multimedia)
l Media (newspapers, television, and videos)
