Will a mobile phone work on the moon?

assume an astronaut is standing on the surface of the moon in direct sight of the earth, and that the transmitter/receiver is powerful enough to send a signal over the distance, his wife calls his mobile to ask what time he’s gonna be home, will the call reach him, oh and by the way i should mention that he has a handsfree mic built into his helmet.

No, it won’t work. The digital cell network relies on data packets being returned in a few dozen microseconds otherwise they are ignored. GSM won’t even work more than about 35km.

If he has a regular marine VHF radio, that could probably be picked up on a large dish.
