What is the correct way to abbreviate "cellular"?
I see it done both ways.

Most designers would use cel, to align with tel and fax (or fac).

It just looks better.

"t", "f", and "c" also work.

In Oz, it's obvious that the 'mobile' phone is such by the different number. Mostly the titles "Phone" & "Mobile" are superfluous, unless there's a fax number to also go on a sign.

I had to change the word "cell" to "mobile" for a customer once. Turned out he was an ex-con, and did not want a "cell" number on his truck. I have used "mobile" since that day.
