The U. S. Federal Communications Commission
and the Canadian Department of Communications
regulate cellular radiotelephone service in their
respective countries. It is important for you, the
cellular radiotelephone user, to observe the
applicable regulations when operating your cellular
phone in either country. In addition to these U. S.
and Canadian regulations, you may also be bound
by certain state, provincial, territorial, and local
rules and regulations, as well as by your cellular
carrier’s tariff (the rates, terms, and conditions of
its service). If you wish to use your cellular
radiotelephone in both the U.S. and Canada,
please consult with your system operator.
Furthermore, you should remember that your
cellular phone is a radiotelephone, – i.e., it
combines both wireline technology, as used in
your home or office telephone system, and radio
technology – and that the scope of regulations and
precautions is therefore broader than the scope of
regulations and precautions relating to wireline-
only telephone usage.
Some of the major points of consideration are set
out below. Please note, however, that this ‘Rules,
Regulations, & Precautions’ section does not
constitute legal advice; and is intended merely for
general information purposes. If you have any
specific questions, please contact your Cellular
Carrier (System Operator).
