Uses
The ability to communicate wirelessly and across borders is one of the biggest uses of mobile phones. Mobile phones have emerged as the primary communication devices for millions of rural, remote and underdeveloped areas in developing countries where it is difficult to build extensive fixed-line and other wired phone infrastructures. Mobile phones can be used in many emergency situations and exigencies to gain valuable and timely help.

Mobile phones are used to communicate wirelessly and across borders. In the past decade or so, mobile phones have emerged as the primary communication devices for millions of users in rural, underdeveloped areas and remote locations in developing countries where it is quite difficult and expensive to lay fixed or land-line infrastructure. In case of emergency situations and natural disasters, a mobile phone is often the best way to communicate and seek help. With the ubiquity of social media applications such as Twitter and Facebook on mobile phones, alerts about potentially dangerous situations are often communicated faster through mobile phones.

Misuses
Cameras loaded on most mobile phones can be used to take pictures of women and unsuspecting children; these photos are then generally morphed, manipulated and circulated on the Internet. Texting can also be used to abuse or stalk people.

Almost all new-generation mobile phones have in-built cameras. Many users are known to capture pictures of women, children, celebrities and other people in public places. The antisocial and unscrupulous elements among these users are known to manipulate and morph these images and circulate them on various mediums. Bullying through texting is quite common among teens and young adults. Impressionable and vulnerable teenagers are known to be affected mentally when bullied or harassed by peers and other students through text messages.
