Is a cell phone's IMEI number broadcast within an SMS?
A cell phone's IMEI can only be obtained on the phone itself.
What is the cell phone named after?
The "cell" in cell phone is a shortened form of the word cellular. This refers to the type of transmission towers used to convey signals. Cell phones are simply radios that transmit on minute frequencies. The range of frequencies used are managed by the individual cellular providers (cell phone companies). These companies build and arrange transmission antennae (cell towers) in a way that transmission coverage from each tower overlaps those around it. This provides relatively (theoretically) seamless coverage. As long as the cell phone remains within line of sight of a transmission tower, and within the phone's transmission range, calls can be completed. In the days of analog cell phones (and this may still hold true today), the average transmission range for a cell tower was 15 miles over land, and 50 miles over water.
What does the 'cell' refer to in a 'cell phone'?
Well, a cell phone tower shoots out waves to your cell phone. The waves happen to shoot out 360 degrees of the tower. The waves happens to be called a cell. Whenever you are out of the cell you get poor reception and vice versa for being inside of the cell.
Can someone text you from using someone else's number?
Not precisely. The phone company can locate the nearest cell tower, if their phone is turned on and in range of a cell tower. However this cell tower and the phone might be several miles apart. Only if the phone has its GPS tracking enabled all the time (not just on 911 calls) and they are outside of a building (so that the GPS satellite signals can be picked up) can the phone company determine the phone's actual location. But of course if the person does not have the phone on them, forget it.
