Do you use your telephone or your cell phone more why or why not

littlefranciscan @littlefranciscan (18327) • United States 27 Apr 10

I use to use my cell phone more then my landline but I changed my plan and went back to the landline. I am convinced keeping those cell phone devices next to your ear for long periods of time is bad for your health.
