E-mail is a communication tool used for sending messages. While it can be archived, it is not primarily a database management system for record maintenance in the way that formal business databases are.

Radio waves and microwaves propagate through space without the need for physical cables, making them a form of wireless communication.

A wireless network, specifically one using the IEEE 802.11 standards, is commonly referred to as a Wi-Fi network.

A special type of device which uses an ordinary telephone with a computer is Acoustic couple

In telecommunications, an acoustic coupler is an interface device for coupling electrical signals by acoustical means—usually into and out of a telephone.

Ethernet modems that plug into the network card in the computer, and wireless modems that connect to a computer using a wireless LAN (WLAN). Some modems offer dual Ethernet and USB connection. There are also routers with integrated ADSL modem.

A TTY is a special device that lets people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech-impaired use the telephone to communicate, by allowing them to type messages back and forth to one another instead of talking and listening.

For reliability it does not matter. So all of above are technology is more reliable.

Mechanical Technology. Nearly every product includes mechanical components that must be created by a mechanical designer. ... The mechanical designer of today requires knowledge in many areas including mechanical drafting, computer-aided drafting and design, machine shop, robotics and machine components.

A mechanical computer is built from mechanical components such as levers and gears, rather than electronic components. The most common examples are adding machines and mechanical counters, which use the turning of gears to increment output displays.

Computer Electronics Technology is an associate degree program that prepares you for a technical career in the computer field. You will learn to operate, install, configure, upgrade and maintain microcomputers, peripheral devices and network hardware.

Voice mail is a centralized system for storing voice messages from telephone callers, functioning similarly to an answering machine.

A  Mobile switching centre is a computerized centre, that is responsible for connecting calls, recording call information and billing.

A mobile switching center (MSC) is the centerpiece of a network switching subsystem (NSS). The MSC is mostly associated with communications switching functions, such as call set-up, release, and routing. The Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) is a telephone exchange that makes the connection between mobile users within the network, from mobile users to the public switched telephone network and from mobile users to other mobile networks.

BSC. The Base Station Controller (BSC) is in control of and supervises a number of Base Transceiver Stations (BTS). The BSC is responsible for the allocation of radio resources to a mobile call and for the handovers that are made between base stations under his control. Other handovers are under control of the MSC.

Base Transciever Station (BTS) The BTS is a telecoms infrastructure used to facilitate wireless communication between subscriber device and telecoms operator network. The subscriber device can be mobile phone, wireless internet devices while the operator network could be a GSM, CDMA or TDMA platform.

PTN stands for Public Telephone Network.

The public switched telephone network (PSTN) is the aggregate of the world's circuit-switched telephone networks that are operated by national, regional, or local telephony operators, providing infrastructure and services for public telecommunication.

How does the Public Switched Telephone Network work? PSTN uses circuit switching to allow users to make landline telephone calls to one another. The call is placed after it is routed through multiple switches. These switches are found in a central office (CO) or in a wire center.

PSTN (public switched telephone network) is the world's collection of interconnected voice-oriented public telephone networks, both commercial and government-owned. It's also referred to as the Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS).

GPS is not used for voice communication.

An early satellite-based system dubbed TRANSIT was up and running as early as 1960, with more refined and precise versions involving multiple satellites in general military use by the early 1980s (pictured, right). But it wasn't until 2000 that precision GPS navigation became open to the public.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a network of about 30 satellites orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 20,000 km. ... Once it has information on how far away at least three satellites are, your GPS receiver can pinpoint your location using a process called trilateration.

During Labor Day weekend in 1973, a meeting of about twelve military officers at the Pentagon discussed the creation of a Defense Navigation Satellite System (DNSS). It was at this meeting that the real synthesis that became GPS was created.

GPS (or global positioning system), is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites orbiting the earth at all times. This system, when the proper signals are received, allows a user to tell where they are located.

Dual tone multi frequency are not telephony services supported by GSM

DTMF ( Dual Tone Multiple Frequency ) is used to send to signals for button presses on telephones. The data is typically sent over voice channels and so in order to distinguish from human voice , when you hit a button the phone generates two tones of different frequencies - one lower frequency and one high frequency.

DTMF (dual tone multi frequency) is the signal to the phone company that you generate when you press an ordinary telephone's touch keys. In the United States and perhaps elsewhere, it's known as "Touchtone" phone (formerly a registered trademark of AT&T).

GSM is a globally accepted standard for digital cellular communications. GSM uses narrowband Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) for providing voice and text based services over mobile phone networks.
