telephone

Hi,
Please tell me what you usually call these gadgets – cell-phones, mobiles, phones or … ?
Thanks.

cell phones

I think it's mainly called a cell phone in the US and a mobile in Britain.

All of them are used. It seems like a person to person dependency. So learn them all and observe what people use.

(Observe ... :))) Nobody speaking English around.)

Thanks.

I call it a 'mobile', my daughter calls it a 'cell phone', my wife calls it a 'telly', my second wife calls it a 'mobile phone', my lover calls it a 'telephone'.

You see , it depends from person to person.

I call it a "thingie".

Es ist ein "Handy" auf Deutsch

It's called a "Handy" in German

This is the English forum. Don't post in or about German here.

In the US we call them cell phones, sometimes 'cell' for short.

I call it a electromagnetic radiation transmitter/reciever

Thanks, folks.

I like that electromagnetic radiation transmitter/receiver... Sounds so "Physics" though we call it cellphone here... Love that!

In China, they call it a "hand phone" and in many cases do not understand if you say a "cell"
