   3. pertaining to or using a system of transmission of
      telephone signals by radio, in which areas are divided
      into geographical parts cells, each of which is served
      by a transmitter whose range is limited to that region,
      thus permitting a single transmission frequency to be used
      simulataneously in different parts of the same area.
      cellular telephones are typically small and battery
      powered, allowing a subscriber with such a telephone to
      carry the telephone in a pocket or purse, over the entire
      area served, and to be contacted by a single telephone
      number. the system became widespread and popular in the
      1980's and 1990's; as, cellular telephones sometimes lose
      their link unpredictably.
