Mobile phones use geographic area codes (two digits): after that, all numbers assigned to mobile service have nine digits, starting with 6, 7, 8 or 9 (example: 55 15 99999–9999). 90 is not possible, because collect calls start with this number.

Two decades of evolution of mobile phones, from a 1992 Motorola DynaTAC 8000X to the 2014 iPhone 6 Plus. A mobile phone, or cell phone, [a] is a portable telephone that allows users to make and receive calls over a radio frequency link while moving within a designated telephone service area, unlike fixed-location phones (landline phones).
However, since mobile number portability was introduced in Georgia on 15 February 2011, the links are no longer certain. Telephone prefixes originally distributed to mobile operators are listed below. On 20 June 2011, the digit 5 was added to the prefixes for mobile operators. [1] For example, prefix 77 was changed to 577.
Area code 770 was therefore assigned to Atlanta's suburbs just three years later in August 1995, requiring ten-digit dialing between them, and with all mobile phones keeping 404. 678 was given to both the city and its suburbs in January 1998, becoming the first overlay area code in the state, and forcing mandatory ten-digit dialing for all calls.
2G also introduced the ability to access media content on mobile phones. In 1998, the first downloadable content sold to mobile phones was the ring tone, launched by Finland's Radiolinja (now Elisa). Advertising on the mobile phone first appeared in Finland when a free daily SMS news headline service was launched in 2000, sponsored by advertising.
