Does a cheap cell phone receive signals as well as an expensive one?

Question by dnlyell: Does a cheap cell phone receive signals as well as an expensive one?
My friends can make calls on their more expensive cell phones but I am unable to make calls on my cheap(free) phone. Also do the cell phone companies share the same towers?

Yes. Some cell phone companies do and some don't. Some times your phone wont use the closest tower that works with your phone press *228 option 2 that will take you to the closest tower.

camera take pics and video only.....

MMS (pic texting) has nothing to do with having a camera. MMS is a program feature built into cell phones and activated by the Carrier....... 98% of all phones that were made 1980-2003 dont have MMS.... new phones made 2003-2005 started to get MMS.... by 2011... MMS is standard

maybe you had cheap and old phones
