If I am near to the person I am calling to, what’s the routing? Will phone call “go” to my phone -> to the cell -> to the provider -> to come back in the same cell and then -> to the person I am calling to? or just remains in the nearest cell and so it’s something like: me-nearCell-otherPerson

Answer 1

The call will go past the cell to one of the providers mobile switching centre servers (MSC).

If both of you happen to be connected the same MSC it will be taken care there.

If both of you are connected to differnet MSCs the call will go through between the MSCs.
