My friend severed with the United States Air Force in radio equipment, and he studied the issue of radiation from radio waves heavily. This was during the Vietnam and Cold War era. I went to him and showed him some posts online about cell phone radiation, and he was laughing the hardest I've seen him in years. He said not only were the effects overstated, but that people have been sucking in much higher doses of radiation on the daily with all the signals that have been transmitted. I highly agree with him. There are so many devices and things transmitting RF waves all around us constantly, that refusing to buy a cell phone in order to avoid sucking up radiation is a moot point. It may speed it up in rare cases, but this is a very small piece of the puzzle.
Well said.
As a former FCC General radiotelephone licensed operator and current amateur radio license holder, a cell phone's RF is so miniscule, that people need to take blinders off their faces....
If you open your eyes, you will see most RF power is being sent from everywhere around you.
From the sky, satellite transmitters pointed to the earth for sat phones, digital satellite radio, video/photo images to the ground are always transmitting.
Rooftop microwave transmitters which operates at much higher frequency than a cell phone (hence MICROWAVE) and if you stand in front of one during a transmission, you will feel the vibrating effects in your head.
On a hilltop, mountaintop or manmade tower, there are many high power (over 50KW) transmitters for multiple AM/FM/digital TV stations, paging, repeaters, cross link, cross band, trunking, 2 Way, VHF, UHF, SHF data/voice/GPS.
Everyday driving, you should know that commercial vehicles, public safety, buses, ham radios, and taxi cars all have mobile RF transmitter where they put out at least 50W of power in the HF, VHF, UHF, and SHF for data, voice, and GPS. Some are transmitting 100% of the time in full duplex!
BTW In my car, I have a 40W VHF & UHF mobile transceiver which I use to communicate on using voice analog as well digital packet transmission. It operates on half duplex.
I'd worry more about these than a 0.3W cellular transceiver.
If you don't want any RF, move to the South Pole (Antarctica), or dig yourself a deep hole.
