Now a days, you can open your email and its attachments to a mobile phones. I am thinking, if you can open the email and its attach file to a mobile phone, maybe this gadget has an IP address like the laptops and desktop computer. Since IP addresses are being use to transmit files from one machine to another. If desktop computers and laptops has an IP address, how about mobile phones?

The cellphone itself does not bear any ip address. So far i know that the cellphone company, whose network you are using they have numbers of ip addresses. So while mailing or browsing, those ip addresses are used. Each time you are logged in by your cellphone, you will be mostly use different ip addresses. As they have many and once you try to access, you are just forwarded to instant vaccant one. Hope some other friends will give a detailed picture about it. Thank you.
