What about cellular phone?

I'm asking as I think I heard it used somewhere, I'm not sure, though. Sounds like a bit of a transfer from Spanish but it may also be correct?

Right. Just after the cave men came "cellular" phones. In the old times. That is, to anyone under the age of 15, at least 10 years ago.

"Mobile phone", "cellular phone" and "cell" refer to the same thing. Now-a-days people just use the word "phone" for cell phones and "landline" or "VOIP phone" for something else.
