Selecting a cell phone You can research which cell phones have the lowest SAR values at the following sites: SAR stands for Specific Absorption Rate. The FCC requires that a cell phone must have a SAR less than 1.6W/kg. The best cell phones have a SAR of 0.1-0.3W/kg. SARs is an important value, but not the only attribute that you should concentrate on. Cell phones use different frequencies and you may be particularly sensitive to specific features, such as GPS, 3G, or 4G. In particular, we recommend cell phones without GPS capability for EMF sensitive individuals.
Selecting a Carrier We have had success with Metro PCS as our cellular service of choice, although they do not have complete geographical coverage. Metro PCS uses CDMA technology. We recommend that individuals try different cell phone services to find the one most suitable for them. The Off Button For individuals with EMF Sensitivity, we recommend limited use of cell phones. We also recommend that your cell phone be turned off unless you are making a call, and for the battery to be removed when not in use. "The Spy in Your Hand" Newsweek (June 8, 2009) |
