With the various features that come in handy with every cell phone, it is an important consideration to keep in mind what makes a cell phone functional and useful.

Last but not the least, a cell phone must offer features such as SMS and a built-in memory to store enough phone numbers in its directory. All these are important features that make up a good cell phone.
