Answer 2

There were a bunch of warnings about using cell phones in a storm after one lady in Great Britain was struck while using one. It should go down in history as the biggest case of safety-hysteria the world ever saw. Using a cell phone or cordless phone do no more to attract lightning than holding a butter knife against the side of your head, and doesn't come close to the risk of holding a butter knife above your head in a storm -- which still isn't very risky.

A phone with a cord is dangerous, because lightning could strike anywhere along that telephone wire and find the most convenient path to the ground through your body.

Answer 3

Interesting question!!!

Landline phones are definitely the most dangerous, since the wires that they are connected to can be hit by the lightning, then travel through the line to your telephone and zap you. One of my best friends was actually hit by lightning in that very way!!! He was on the phone with another one of my friends when it happened... luckily he was not badly hurt due to the fact that his multiple piercings helped to discharge the electricity!!! Crazy.... hu?!?!

Cell phones and cordless phones used indoors are perfectly safe because there is no wire through which the electrical discharge of the lightning could travel. When used outdoors, the threat is still low due to the fact that cell phones generally contain an insignificant am out of metal.

Hope that answers your question!!! :)
