To a human being cell phone radiation is harmless. use of a cell phone is equivalent to a nominal amount of time in the sun. A live radio tower however could be extremely dangerous, do not climb over the safety fences or on the tower itself.

Do mobile phones emit radiation only when receiving calls and SMS?
No. Cell phones may emit cellular radiation even when "idle". Smartphones may also emit radio signals for near-field, Wi-Fi, bluetooth, Ant, etc. Details: They emit radiation (a digital microwave signal) when they are first turned on, then continue to "check in" with a cell hub (or cell hubs if you are moving) so you are constantly connected to a cell hub. Your phone is "always ready" to receive incoming traffic because it is being "tracked" by your cellular service provider so that the nearest hub can relay your calls. If you are stationary, a single hub probably does this. But if you are mobile, cell hubs "hand you off" as you move, and all based on your phone's "checking in" signals to the hub.

Cell phones are non-ionizing which means they don't have enough energy to rip electrons off atoms, or molecules ,and destroy DNA. The radiation in cell phones is somewhat identical to the radiation inside microwaves. If you live an area with better reception your phone emits less microwaves to transmit to a tower and expose you to lower levels of microwave radiation.
