What goes on when a call is placed

The Smartphone or oh!, a Smartphone is one of the electronic gizmo on a mission to become the playground of the human life experiences. It begun with talking behind walls and then it hoped to texting behind walls then jumped to the no walls space where all those two experiences goes on without the walls. As of today, it is busy looking to move between worlds, oh!; lets get back to it and a little more something.

When a call is placed, a series of complex processes go on behind the scenes to make sure that the call is successfully connected between the two parties involved. Here’s a breakdown of what happens when a call is made:

1. Initialization: When you hit the “call” button, your phone sends out a signal to the nearest cellular tower to establish a connection. The signal includes the caller’s phone number, the receiver’s phone number, and the network information used by the phone.
2. Network Routing: The nearest tower relays the signal to a local cellular switch that determines the best path for the call to reach the receiver’s cellular network. The call is then routed through a series of network switches until it reaches the cell tower closest to the receiver.
3. Caller ID: Once the call reaches the receiver’s cellular network, the network identifies the caller’s number and attaches a caller ID to the incoming call.
4. Ringing and Answering: The receiver’s phone will start ringing, and once they accept the call, the connection is established, and they can communicate with the caller.
5. Audio Transmission: When the call is connected, the audio is transmitted between the two phones through a digital signal that is processed and sent as analog audio waves that are audible to the caller and receiver.
6. Call Termination: When the call ends, the conversation is no longer transmitted, and the phones end the connection, and the cellular network disconnects the call.

All these processes happen within seconds, making it seem like magic, but it involves the coordination of multiple systems to provide a seamless experience for the caller and receiver. The advancement in technology has made it easier and efficient to place calls with advancements like VoIP, cloud-based communication, and the internet of things connecting more devices into the call-making and receiving network.

When a call is placed, signals are sent between the caller’s phone, the cellular network, the recipient’s phone, and the Public Switched Telephone Network PSTN (if necessary) to connect the call and allow for voice communication. Throughout the call, signals are sent between the phones and the network to ensure that the call remains connected and clear. When the call is ended, the phones communicate with the network to signal that the call has been disconnected.
