Patrick,

Sorry to bother you, but do you have online anywhere or can you refer
me to any publication which explains the ins and out of how cellular
phones work?

Thanks.

[Moderator's Note: It is no bother. What would you readers suggest?
Are there any good, definitive works he should read?  PT]

There is a superior reference available on cellular telecom, one which
I am almost finished reading from cover-to-cover.  It is:

    "Mobile Cellular Telecommunications Systems" by
    William C. Y. Lee, Ph. D.  [Sorry, don't have ISBN handy, just
    the title info]

The book was published in 1989 and gives an excellent engineering
overview of analog cellular, with a chapter dedicated toward what we
can expect from digital cellular.
