Car phone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (302 words) |
 | Traditional car phone service might now be called a 0G (zeroth-generation) service, where 1G (first-generation) is thought of as the beginning of modern cellular telephone service. |
 | In Finland, car phone service was first available in 1971 on the zero-generation ARP (Autoradiopuhelin, or Car Radiophone) service. |
 | Since a traditional car phone uses a high-power transmitter and external antenna, it is ideal for rural or undeveloped areas where mobile handsets may not work well or at all. |

 | With one hand on the phone and the other (maybe) on the wheel, a cell phone-using motorist is less able to safely steer the car. |
 | Hands-free cell phone technology is replacing the older style where the driver must manually punch in phone numbers and then hold a phone to his ear. |
 | The driver simply holds a phone conversation in the same manner as he would conduct a conversation with a passenger who was physically present in the car. |
