pre dial your landline number on your cell/mobile telephone and press the call button
then put the mobile telephone in your microwave oven
[microvave oven switched off]
and if your mobile/cell phone continues to call your home
landline telephone ,this means your microwave oven is leaking at the door seal,and therefore means it leaks radiation when you use it to cook
please get back and tell me what happened

regardless of how strong or how near a phone mast is near to you,the upshot of it is it should not emit any signal to the outside of the oven ,im not sure about emitting a signal from outside the oven into the oven
ie:a friend tried both ways calling outwards from inside of the oven to the outside of the oven
and then contacting it from outside the oven with either a mobile or landline telephone,neither way made the call but the oven is 2weeks old new

True, but it also depends on signal strengths too!! If you have a cell site within yards of your home, you wouldn;'t need much - and a microwave is supposed to be a farraday cage anyhow. Interesting one though!

You are right to alert people to the dangers of microwave leakage. A survey conducted among the Professional Service Associates, (a group of United States microwave repair servicemen), indicated that over 56% of microwave ovens two years or older leaked levels of radiation 10% higher than the safety standards. That is a very high number of leaky microwave ovens as most are over 2 years old. I don't work for Maplin, but they sell a leakage tester for under £5 and it is more reliable than using a mobile phone.

I did it and then sealed all the edges of the microwave with duct tape and it still rung. So my conclusion is :- It all depends on your mobile signal strength.
Hope this helps and have a nice day. ;) x
