In general Mobile phones are used for a variety of purposes, including keeping in touch with family members, conducting business, and having access to a telephone in the event of an emergency. Some people carry more than one cell phone for different purposes, such as for business and personal use.The TV industry has recently started using mobile phones to drive live TV viewing through mobile apps, advertising, [|social tv], and [|mobile TV]. 86% of Americans use their mobile phone while watching TV. For distributing content In 1998, one of the first examples of [|distributing and selling media content] through the mobile phone was the sale of [|ringtones] by Radiolinja in Finland. Soon afterwards, other media content appeared such as news, video games, jokes, horoscopes, TV content and advertising.
 * Use of mobile phones **

Mobile phone use while driving is common but controversial. Being distracted while operating a motor vehicle has been shown to increase the risk of accident. Because of this, many jurisdictions prohibit the use of mobile phones while driving. Egypt, Israel, Japan, Portugal and Singapore ban both handheld and hands-free use of a mobile phone; others —including the UK, France, and many U.S. states—ban handheld phone use only, allowing hands-free use.

<span class="mw-headline" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">In schools <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">Some schools limit or restrict the use of mobile phones. Schools set restrictions on the use of mobile phones because of the use of cell phones for cheating on tests, harassment and bullying, causing threats to the schools security, distractions to the students, and facilitating gossip and other social activity in school. Many mobile phones are banned in school locker room facilities, public restrooms and swimming pools due to the built-in cameras that most phones now feature. <span class="mw-headline" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">Mobile banking and payments

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">In many countries, mobile phones are used to provide [|mobile banking] services, which may include the ability to transfer cash payments by secure SMS text message. Some mobile phone can make [|mobile payments] via direct mobile billing schemes or through [|contactless payments] if the phone and [|point of sale] support [|near field communication] (NFC). This requires the co-operation of manufacturers, network operators and retail merchants to enable contactless payments through NFC-equipped mobile phones.[|[39]][|[40]][|[41]] <span class="mw-headline" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">Tracking and privacy <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">Mobile phones are also commonly used to collect location data. While the phone is turned on, the geographical location of a mobile phone can be determined easily (whether it is being used or not), using a technique known as [|multilateration] to calculate the differences in time for a signal to travel from the cell phone to each of several [|cell towers] near the owner of the phone.[|[42]][|[43]]
