Don't Use Your Cell Phone in Rural Areas

Cell phones are more dangerous when you are in rural areas. When you are out in the country there are fewer cell towers or cell sites. This means that your cell phone must work harder to send and receive a signal, which means it emits more of the dangerous radiofrequency (RF) radiation that contributes to cancer and other diseases.

Always try to check your cell phone before you make a call. Make sure that the signal on your phone is strong. You can tell by visually looking at your phone and seeing how many bars of reception it has. If there are only one or two bars, try to avoid talking on your phone in that location.
