Since mobile phone emits harmful radiations, which might cause medical complications I prefer to use hands-free bluetooth kit only to speak. How do you prefer to speak into your mobile phone - through a hands-free kit or directly into the mobile?

May be I can use my Mylot earning for buying that tooo .. ;) People say using handsfree is very convenient, but Im not sure whether I will feel the same. Let me see.

I used handsfree if I got lazy to handle to phone or if it will be a long conversation. I think it is convenient to use a hands free cause you will just press one button and instantly you talk even if your busy doing something with the use of your both hands.

Dear Ranjeetkolarkar, I speak directly in my mobile. I use speak rarely because all will call me through my office direct line. Once in a week my brother call me over my mobile otherwise my mobile is a show piece.

I do uues hands free when I am driving, but if not, will use the phone itself. I don't often use my mobile phone though as with work I get calls through on the landline. It doesn't bother me about radiation, as it's not be absolutely proved yet, and last week there was an article in the newspapers saying that now they think there's no harm in it at all. Many people for years have been contantly using mobile phones all day long and have had no bad effects from it. And several weeks ago, I read that even the blue-tooth headsets can have a bad effect too because radio waves are still involved. So I don't know what to believe now. I guess it's just the way each of us is made that may cause a problem.

I mostly only use my mobile phone to talk to my boyfriend when I go shopping or things like that. We call each other less then 1 times a week on my phone. So I will not spend money to buy a bluetooth for that lol

I normally speak directly into my mobile phone. Given a choice, I would prefer to use the hands-free. However, unless the environment where you are is very quiet, the other party may not be able to hear you clearly or comfortably enough. It is quite an inconvenience when you thought you are making sense when the other party cannot even hear what you said.:P

I would definitely speak directly to my cell phone. But if I am driving, then bluetooth would be the only choice around here (otherwise we will get caught). I don't drive at all, so speaking directly to my cell phone is the only choice. Sometimes I don't understand why people use hands-free when their hands are free and it just looks strange to me because they look like they are talking to themselves! I prefer to speak on the phone, I guess I am old-fashioned!

I use my cell phone so little I am not worried about the harmful effects so I take right into the phone. I also am deaf in one ear so I do not dare cover up my one good ear.

I usually don't use much of my mobile but ya they are harmful some of their frequencies match that of micro wave.But it is only harmful when used for long times . I don't have that problem.but research says it effects more and mostly in Right brain so keeping mobile moldet far would vastly reduce its effects. Hope it will help you regards HOPE YOU WILL APPRICIATE.

I always speak directly into the moblie. But I prefer to use a blueteeth hands-free kit. To do that is much more convenient and safer. And I have no worry about being rob of. Moreover, the radioaction of mobile phone is considerable.

Although I have a bluetooth headset, but I seldom use it. Most of the time I just prefer to speak directly in my mobile phone.

If I am going to talk more than a minute or two I use the headset and do it hands free because my phone gets very warm and starts to burn my ear.

Hello ranjeetkolarkar, Yes I use hands-free kit when talking on my mobile phone if I am in the car. But normally I just speak directly in my mobile phone when I recieved or make a call. I think the issue about mobile phones emitting harmful radiations which might cause medical complications have been cleared already many times before. So I don't have any worries as to how I use my phone to receive/make a call. :-)

I speak directly into my phone, I never talk while driving, so I won't need anything else.
