It is probably best to keep the radio waves to a minimum around our
bodies.
For the first year or so, I only used the BB as a handy camera.

The way I look at it the various radio/tv waves weren't created lately
they have always been around. We are just now accessing them.
They are a part of nature.
I have an iPhone that replaced various androids of the past. I have
my last android, an LG, that is no longer a phone but everything
else works, so it can be used with the net. I have two charging
systems, one is with the usb plug and the pc and the other is a ac
adapter for a faster charge. Joe
Cellphone to the head.. risk of promoting cataracts.. no thanks.
I wouldn't purposefully sit right next to an operating microwave oven
every day for every meal, either.
I remember reading about wi-fi being pulled out of schools in certain European countries
I note that many newer phones don't have removeable batteries for
the sake of slimmer design.

I seldom use mine.
My plan with TracFone is triple minutes. For every minute I buy I
get two free and they roll over. Have to buy a few hours every three months. I have 40 or 50 HOURS of use currently.
I use my phone, as a phone, maybe twice a week.
I have always disliked calling people just to chat figuring they are
busy doing something and interrupting them.
I use text more since that way (unless really important) the other
person can decide when its convenient for them to reply. (I had a supervisor who would deny saying something or other later and I only texted him since I had a record and would show "right

I have heard something about the new 5G that is supposed to be bad,
others saying its not.
My phone has wifi and only use data when absolutely necessary.
I brought about an hour of data several years ago and still using
what I got.
Sounds like you should get the year's worth of service instead of the 3
month service
double minutes, but they also roll over... currently I have 1628.30 on
my phone
we primarily still use our landline for calling...
I don't really use the browser function otherwise....

I have thought about that.

I just checked and I have 8.55 GB of data available, 6764 in text
and 2786 minutes (46 hours) in talk.
I seldom use data, unless something I need to know right away when a
wifi signal isn't available. Those times I'm on and right off again.
One time I did the dumbest thing. Even for me.
I had recently gotten a phone with data (no wifi then, or at least
on that phone) and suddenly the data stopped working. I only used that
to send violator photos to the office). No matter what I did I
couldn't get it to work.
I called TracFone and they checked the phone remotely and couldn't
find out what the problem was. They said it could be defective and
would replace it.
Had to send it in and wait for the new one and still had the same
problem.
I spoke to someone else who said, "Oh, all your data time is gone".
DUH. I brought more data, which I still am using, (something like $50 worth) and that was several years ago.
I replaced the replacement (a
no name brand then) with a brand name phone (LG) and later with a
iPhone SE which I'm still using three or four years late
The LG had wifi and I got a free net account at the university
(which I am still using) since working there at the time after
explaining why I wanted one. The woman who took my app wasn't happy
with illegal parkers in HC spaces either and glad we were taki
we primarily still use our landline for calling...
After I got my first cell, over 10 years ago, I dropped my land
line. Why pay $30+ a month for something I wasn't using?
When I called to cancel the woman asked why and I said I had gotten
a cell phone. Her reply was a sad "ok", which I'm sure she had heard
many times.
I don't really use the browser function otherwise....
The only apps I use on a regular basis is the app store for updates (weekly), the weather app and something else.
I use the browser sparingly. Mostly to just surf when bored and
wifi available.
If the gov't listens in on my phone they are probably as bored as
all get out. :)
Most of my conversations are around 0600 when my super calls saying
the woman at Bio Tech can't come in and my replying, with a sigh, I'll
be there. :)
I don't use the location services unless absolutely necessary. The
last time was on my trip.
That was mostly using a hot spot to get detailed directions with the
cars GPS then it was turned off again.
I don't carry the phone on me as a rule (but do at work) and it sits
on the desk unmoved for days on end.
