Is it safe to use a cordless phone while there is a thunderstorm?

Question

A land-line phone

Answer 1

Personally i believe that a cordless phone would be safe during a thunderstorm but try not to drag out a long conversation if there is a serious thunder-storm outside.

Answer 2

Yes it's perfectly safe to use a cordless land line phone in a thunderstorm. Since you are not tethered to the mainline by a wire. The lightning cannot use the wireless signal as a conduit.

Answer 3

I know a woman who was hit just sitting on her front porch using a cordless during a thunderstorm. Took a while to recover.

Answer 4

While you are inside, yes it is safe.

For reasons I don't understand there is an increased risk of getting struck by lightning if you are using a cell phone outside. So I assume from this, that there may be an increased risk of getting struck by lightning if you use a cordless phone outside.

Answer 5

yes, you're fine. A cordless phone has no real connection to the phone line. If there is a problem, you may lose your connection, but you won't get hurt.

Answer 6

Yes. It is not, however, safe to use a landline during a thunderstorm. If the phone is directly plugged into the wall, then you will be electricuted if lightning strikes it.

Answer 7

Nope.
Cordless phone release an ultra sound that way you're connected with the Main device of the Phone.

I prefer that you start using the Corded Phone, where you do not need any batteries to run, no charging.

Answer 8

YES. There is nothing connecting you physically to the phone line or the power line so it is safe.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

It is unsafe to hold ANY phone during s thunderstorm.
