Cellular phone
These mobile communication devices depend upon a network of orbiting satellites to transmit their voice and electronic data through an encrypted digital stream. As long as the satellites are in working order, these devices will function anywhere on the world... and then some. Locations deep underground or within heavily shielded buildings will block transmissions, however. The standard cellular phone battery allows the devices to function for 24 hours before requiring a recharge.
