GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communications. It is a standard that defines how mobile phones communicate with cellular networks. Think of it as the language that your phone speaks to connect with the network.
Here's how you use GSM:
- Making Calls: When you make a call, your phone sends a signal to the nearest cell tower using the GSM standard. This tower then routes the call to the recipient's phone, also using the GSM standard.
- Sending Text Messages: Similar to calls, text messages are sent over the GSM network using specific codes.
- Using Mobile Data: GSM also enables you to use mobile data for browsing the internet, streaming videos, and other online activities.
- International Roaming: The GSM standard allows you to use your phone in different countries that use the same standard, making international travel easier.
GSM is widely used around the world, making it a vital part of modern mobile communication.
