Are Americans familiar with the term "mobile" when referring to a "cellphone"?

In the UK we call them "mobile phones", in the US "cellphones". However, would an American be familiar with the term "mobile" when referring to something pertaining to cellphones or would it sound completely alien to them?

For example, a British person would intrinsically know that an iPhone app named "Mobile x" would be a phone-version of x, but would an American find the same logical conclusion?


Americans are familiar with the term. One of our main carriers is T-Mobile, and the word appears in ads for service providers and products. Googling "mobile phone us" will turn up more.


My business card has a line that says:

+1 xxx xxx xxxx mobile

Software developers for iOS and Android are collectively referred to as mobile developers, so the American tech community is certainly aware of the term.

However, while Americans may be perfectly comfortable with saying, "I got a call on my mobile phone," you may draw a few blank stares if you ask an American, "Please ring me on my mobile."
