mobile phones in the world. Its promoter, the
GSM Association, estimates that 82% of the global mobile market uses the standard . GSM is used by over 2
billion people across more than 212 countries and territories. Its ubiquity makes international
roaming very common between
mobile phone operators, enabling subscribers to use their phones in many parts of the world. GSM differs from its predecessors in that both signaling and speech channels are
digital call quality, and so is considered a second generation (
2G) mobile phone system. This has also meant that data communication were built into the system using the
3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
