Do cell phones get dial tone from the switch or generate it in the
individual unit when the switch is ready?  I've never used one before
so I have no idea.  Thanks.

[Moderator's Note: Cellular phones do not have 'dial tone'. You enter
the number on the keypad, and press the 'send' key. The switch picks
this up, dials the call and then connects you. The first thing you
hear is the ringing or busy signal from the other end.   PAT]
