I am a mobile phone user although I am not that dependent to it, but I heard that using mobile frequently can damage your ears. Another thing is you should never use cellphones when you are in a gasoline station. Why? Is it really true? They also said that when a phone is in charge never use it to call someone, I think someone have died because of this. Please explain why? why do you think cellphones can do harm like that?

its due to radiation levels... if you call from your cellphone, don't place your phone close to your ear. just keep it away a bit... ok... here are the levels of radiations cellphones emit... www.sarsheild.com/english/radiationchart.htm

U have no idea, I have not heard any of the things you describe in here and I have use a cell while the cell was charging and nothing happen other than it charge. So I am not sure why type of cell it was or why the accident happen. Do I think cells can be harmful like that? No, I use mine all the time and nothing so far has happen :) (Even tho I text more than call)

I use a cellphone too, but haven't here that cellphone can harm our ears. As I know cellphone can harm our brain and cause a cancer because of the radiation. I have ever using cellphone when it is charging. But it not make a huge negative effect to me. I just ever get sting by electric because I touch in the iron side but it's not to pain to me. Maybe the harmful is like that.

It probably does, but it can't be more damage than music at normal volume the effects are miniscule. The charging cellphone accident is a 1 in a trillion case. It would have to be a low quality cellphone (not many of those with today's low cost of manufacturing cell phones). I'd say it's about as risky as unplugging a wire from a socket.
