Interesting Info on Cellphones
Just read a while ago that using or having a cell phone on in the bedroom has shown to disrupt sleeping patterns. It has been shown to cause headaches and poor sleep.
I don't use my phone, but I have left it on 24/7. It was noted that even though the phone isn't in use, nor receiving any messages/calls - the phone still transmits a signal every few minutes to inform the system the phone is on. Now I already have known about the phone constantly transmitting even though no messages/calls are being made. It makes funny noises in my stereo amplifier, AM radio and even the TV itself. But I never knew that is what could be causing me to have headaches every morning I wake up. Guess I'll have to give it a try by turning off the phone in the evenings and not turning it back on till I get up by around noon. |

'mobile' phones, not 'cell' phones. DS is a British website.

It is a cell phone or "Cell". A "Mobile" is a transiever like a 40 channel CB, Ham radio, or FM transeiver used in a vehicle to talk to other folks. |

Dude! We have british on our web site and we do not tell them how to type on our forums. They have their lingo - we have ours.

To be fair, I did think the original person pulling you up on it came across a little harsh, but it doesn't mean that you had to stoop to their level. Potato/Tomato

The research about sleep is massively flawed and the results aren't particularly valid for normal use of a low power RF device like a mobile phone.
