do you ever notice that your cell phone has such a strong frequency that it can cause static on your radios?

Question

do you think that all those waves are going to eventualy give us all brain tumors????

yeah at work we try to guess who's phone its going to be. i call it celluar warning

Answer 1

No but I have that problem with my vibrator. Don't know that I need to worry about brain tumors though.

Answer 2

Actually, any GSM phone will disrupt the signal going to your radio. I learned this while I had a GSM phone. I would be listening to the radio, and if a text message or phone call was headed for my phone, my radio would emmit a sort of "static beep" noise. In fact, it was so bad that during my volunteer a/v job (audio visual) for a local church, I could not turn my ringer merely to vibrate or off, but had to shut off the entire unit. You will not get this problem, though, with most CDMA phones (GSM is the one with the little sim card that you have to insert into the phone, CDMA has no such card). I know this because I changed phone companies recently and my new phone uses the CDMA 1x-EVDO technology, and i no longer get that "static beep".

Answer 3

It disrupts computers too through the audio speakers. I can tell a full 5 seconds before the phone rings that I have an incoming call. It makes a buzzing and clicking sound come over the speakers.
Don't worry about tumors though, the wattage output on a cell phone isn't powerful enough to do any damage.
Maybe "cauliflower ear" if you talk on it long enough!

Answer 4

the cell phones operate at very high frequency:900/180/1900Mhz and the radio operates at 108 Mhz max. the static come from the high power the device sends , not because of the frequency.about cancer...that's a tricky question...the power levels indeed are high...and depending on your particular body properties you could get cancer.also...some people are senstive to a certain frequency (i am at 450 Mhz).so ...i recomend you not to use the cell phone to much as it will certainly afect you...not necesarelly cancer...

Answer 5

I dont think it can cause cancer.
here is the reason
The type of light waves that give us cancer are EXTREMLY powerful
And are above the visable light waves
Ultra Violet (above violet)

and radio waves are the lowest waves on the light spectrum
I doubt these can cause cancer.
But.. i wouldnt doubt they can cause disruption of chemical reactions within the brain.
Who is going to live long enough to see the affects though?

Answer 6

What fake.. lol. Sometimes it does exactly like you describe. Just the nature of cellphones. Course, you notice on tv the commercials make it seem nobody knows cellphones can lose signal and they just keep talking as if there is someone at the other end. And there is dead silence.

Answer 7

I'm always afraid of that too.....It's good to know someone else wonders that also....it would be a good question to ask a doctor about.

Answer 8

If not tumors, it certainly does SOMETHING to my brain!!

Answer 9

it will also interfer with television if you are close enough

Answer 10

yes, it also stops my pacemaker.
