Hello Aspirant,

Thanks for approaching us

Both  mobile communication and mobile computing involve wireless data transfer. The difference is in the kind of data being transferred, and the kind of service being provided.

The prevailing definition of mobile communication is any kind of communication that is done over a mobile phone interface. People often use the terms "mobile communication" and "wireless communication" somewhat interchangeably.

By contrast, the term mobile computing specifically involves the kinds of data transfer that we think of as data, not voice. Telecom providers have done a good job of distinguishing between these two types of services, traditionally separating data from voice charges and vice versa.

Hope this helps you

Feel free to ask any question

All the best for your future
