This is also an issue that concerns me. I guess the radiation from it is something that is bad for our brain when we use it to make phone calls. There was a time when I used the speaker on the phone, but it affects the other party on the phone, ie, they sometimes cannot hear clearly. So I think that it is good not to talk too long on the phone if we have made one thing clear. Take care.

Hi 980,
Mobile phones receive and emit ultrahigh to microwave signals, not far from the one on the ovens we use. Close proximity and long exposure to these electromagnetic waves causes body cells to react just as the skin reacts to radioactive and ultraviolet rays from the sun causing skin cancer.
Modern amenities really has their corresponding hazards, and may I add the coal-fired and nuclear powered power plants, ships and submarines, smoke-belching autos, synthetic foods, additives and medicines, inorganic fertilizers... yeps, the list goes on.
They have their own hazards still we continue to use them. Can we go back to the times when these things are still not around? Not in the slightest chance. We can only learn to live with them using due prudence to avoid their adverse effects.

I always hear such kind of news but it is not proven yet. I think in few days there will come some new technology which can replace the cellphones.
Technology is changing and improving day by day, let us hope the best. Have a nice day ahead.

I will not believe it. It is a rumor. The cellphone has become to be the most important stuffs for everybody. Almost everyone has a cellphone and it is quite common. If it can create the brain cancer, then you will not be the only one for sure.
I love China

Phones use the same radio frequency as a microwave oven. But about a thousand times LESS energy.
We might be slowly cooking our brains but that hasn't been proven yet. Probably, we will know the answer in 20 to 30 years, if we are still alive by then.
