Though there is no concrete proof that mobile phone radiation can be injurious to health, there are some claims that state that using mobile phones too much could lead to health complications. Therefore it is always better to be careful rather than repent later. Some simple steps in the way in which you use the mobile phones can make all the difference.

- Rather than listening into the mobile phone, utilize headphones or switch on the loudspeaker, because it can lower radiation to the head. Headsets are said to emit very low radiation so ensure that you do not keep it on when you are not using it.
- Mobile phones are believed to emit more radiation when you talk and not when you receive calls or messages. Hence listen more than talking thereby lowering probable radiation.
- Sending text messages utilize only very little power and as a result little radiation. In addition, when you text, the phone is not at your head and this reduces exposure to radiation.
- Do not keep the phone in your pocket, near your ears, or in your belt when you are talking using either the headset or the loudspeaker, because the soft tissues in the body are capable of taking radiation. It would always be in your best interest to hold the phone away from the body.
- There are many mobile phones in the market that do not emit as much radiations as many other phones. Therefore when looking for a mobile phone, search for one that gives off the least radiation.
- When there is a problem with signals and the signal bars are very few in numbers, it implies that the phone has to increase the emission to enhance the signals. This could cause radiation, so be careful. The ideal thing would be to use the phone when the signals are the strongest.
- You can buy radiation shields like an antenna cap or keypad covers that can reduce radiation to a great extent.
- The last thing you can do is to try and limit children calling on the mobile phone. The mobile phone must be used only for emergencies. It has been proved that a child's brain takes in practically double of the radiation than the adults, so ensure stop unnecessary use of mobile phones.
