Not exactly. You need to learn more about technology! If you did not realize that cell phones use radio technology to make calls, you have some learning to do. There is nothing magical about cellphones, their underlying technology has been around for decades.

"You need to learn more about technology!"

Guess so...silly me....I thought police and other first responders had their own frequency range, separate from consumer cell customers...

And their own towers and repeaters, separate from the consumer cell network.

And they could communicate with 2 way radios, without even needing a tower, unlike the vast majority of cell phones which require a tower.

Guess dumb old me was wrong and police radios are exactly the same as cell phones.

Thanks for learning me.
