Microwaves ARE radio waves, just very high frequency radio waves.
Some newer phones use a higher frequency (800 to 1900 MHz, aka ultra high frequency) to avoid interference from other broadcasting signals and from various types of machinery.
* The term "microwave" refers to wavelengths that correspond to frequencies from about 1 GHz (1000 MHz) to 30 GHz, which has been used for line-of-sight communication relay links. Cellphones do not use the same frequencies. (3 to 30 GHz is designated "super high frequency.")

Types of waves that are used by mobile phones?
Microwaves.
How are waves used in mobile phones?
in a way, no. They create sound waves using a speaker so you can hear what the person at the other end of the line is saying. EMR is used in transmitting the signal. These are very different to sound waves.
What types of waves do mobile phones use?
radio waves.
What are waves that are used in television?
Radio waves, microwaves, infrared and visible light can all be used for communication. Radio waves – are used to transmit television and radio programs. Microwaves – are used to transmit satellite television and for mobile phones. Infrared – is used to transmit information from remote controls.
What types of waves do cell phones use?
electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range some times cell phones use 50% uses and 50%health prombles overtimes don t uses
Why are there microwaves instead of radio waves in a mobile device?
your mum :D
What type of wave that are used by mobile phones?
Cellular phone signals are carried by radio waves, which are like visible light waves only much slower and longer. Commonly used frequencies are between 800 and 900 megahertz, but some phones use frequencies as high as 2 gigahertz.
Are radio waves harmful?
There is no evidence that radio waves can harm you.However, there are waves inside a mobile phone than canharm you such as microwaves and infrared. This is done by a process called ionisation where cells are split in two or doubled. This causes cancer. Therefore microwaves can be lethal.But only a small dose is used in mobile phones so there is almost no risk. Also, infrared is well compacked and under control.
Can you convert sound waves to light waves or viseversa?
Yes, this happens all the time with communications. As radio and microwaves from mobile phones and radios are a form of the EM spectrum, which are converted into sound waves in the form of a person speaking or a song playing.
Which type of waves that carry mobile phones waves?
They are radio waves - in the microwave section of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Through which type of wave do mobile phones work?
radio waves
Why do mobile phones give off radio waves?
mobile phones give off radio waves to special stations which are built especially to connect calls, as they used to have an operator this is what now is used instead of the operator at this modernised age.
