Do cell phones emit too much radiation?
We live in a world today where virtually everyone owns and uses a cell phone. Not just adults, either. A lot of kids have their own cell phones too! It is actually getting normal for most teenagers to have a phone too and not just any phones! There are all kinds of phones, from flip phones, to smart phones, to handsets - cellphones are as hot as they have ever been, and continue to grow in popularity. But is it possible that cell phones are perhaps not as safe as we have thought? It is no secret that cell phones emit radiation, but isn’t it true that the radiation is not strong enough to hurt anyone?
Well, that is the official story, but a lot of people have begun to ask questions. Also, there have been a lot of studies that show certain kinds of cancer are related to prolonged use and exposure to cell phones. So, while the radiation is not harmful in small quantities, a lot of use and years of holding it to your ear might may be the difference. This prolonged exposure may be dangerous, especially for young kids, as their skulls are thinner and this allows the radiation to travel further into the brain.
Some parts of California are considering passing laws that would require cell phone packaging to display the amount of radiation it emits. This may seem like a big step, but it might have surprising results! I think a lot of us would definitely make this a deciding factor if the information were actually available to us on a label like that.
Cell phones are definitely helpful in a lot of ways, but the negative results could be worse than we realize. Only time and scientific studies will show the truth about cell phones and the radiation that they emit.

Cell phone contracts vs. pay as you go
What is the main difference between a pay as you go plan and a cell phone contract? Well, for pay as you go, you don’t have to sign your name to anything! If at the end of the month you don’t feel like paying for more minutes, then you have no obligation to do so. However, you are also sort of on your own as far as plans go. A lot of pay as you go phones are getting more and more plan-oriented, but you still end up with a basic common denominator… the more you talk, the more you pay.
Unlimited minutes - the holy grail of cell phone plans
You have all seen the ads. It started when one company offered the unheard of - UNLIMITED ANYTIME MINUTES FOR A SET FEE EVERY MONTH! Sure, that would be nice - except it was $100 per month! Dream on, that kind of plan is for movie actors, rockstars, and corporate CEOs, right?
Tired of bad reception?
Is bad reception getting you down? Are you tired of being shown those vague reception maps when you sign up for a new cell phone, especially when you find out a week later that they are definitely not accurate? Are you tired of asking your cell phone representative whether you will be able to get coverage at your parents house, only to find out that you have to stand at the top of the stairs to get two bars?
