Digital communications systems include technologies like 2G, 3G, and 4G cellular networks that allow us to use social media and wireless connections like Bluetooth. Popular methods of digital messaging include SMS, MMS, and messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Skype, which allow sending messages and multimedia over WiFi without charges. VOIP technology provides another cost-effective way of calling and messaging over the internet using your IP address. 3G and 4G cellular networks are what provide the network connection on phones, with 4G offering faster speeds but not being as widely available as 3G yet.
