You get cancer by talking on your cellphone when your phone is charging because when your phone is charging it gives off radiation and when you talk you put the phone to your head and you get a tumor in your brain.

Answer:It is very unlikely, although the (WHO) World Health Organization released a press release in May 2011 stating that radio frequencies are possibly carcogenic to humans, based on research that determined an increased risk for a malignant type of brain cancer. Although, the risk is categorized in a group 2b where gasoline, coffee and pickled vegetables also lie. Answer:Cell phones are wireless and use radio waves to communicate. Radio waves are waves of energy (radiation). Sunlight is also radiation, as well as microwave frequencies. Cell phone radiation is therefore relatively harmless, or like a low microwave frequency.

Since we have not seen a surge in brain cancer since the surge of cell phone use, it seems highly unlikely that you will get brain cancer from using your cell phone.

Using a wireless head piece, talking on speaker, having short conversations or holding your phone a few centimeters from your face or body are all recommended tips for reducing your exposure to cell phone emitted radiation.
