Mobile phones' basic function, of course, is to allow you to talk to another person while you're almost anywhere. You can place and receive calls and messages by simply pressing a person's name in your contact list, eliminating the need for memorization or a separate address book. The ability of mobile phones to connect to people in other countries helps family and friends who are from far from one another stay in touch.
