Its a game of luck, using electronic devices when there is a thunderstorm.
My aunt got an electric shock using the cordless phone during a storm once... gave her a fright, but no lasting damage.
However she wont use it during a storm ever again.

If you're inside a shelter (i.e. your home), then no, it's not dangerous. However you shouldn't use cordless or cell phones outside in a thunderstorm as you increase your chance of being struck by lightening.

an electrical current cannot flow from a phone receiver, through an invisible signal, all the way to the phone and you, it needs something to conduct the flow, and last time i checked, air is not a good conductor.

It's far better to use a phone with a cord, if for not other reason than that you won't lose your connection if the power goes out!
