Yes, i have ever heard that news. Sometimes i just texting while my phone was charging because i'm worried to get that. In my opinion it's possible to get electrocuted while the charger/phone was broken so the electricity's power not converted into small voltase but Preventing to make calling while charging is the best way.

i also received a warning in the past about a person who got electrocuted answering his mobile phone while charging. from then on, i never attempted to answer my phone if it's charging. if you've been doing it in the past, don't do it again anymore. it's better to be safe than sorry.

It is not dangerous to use a cell phone while charging. I too saw the same discussion, but truth be told there are a lot of factors that need to be considered. I have been shocked by eletronic devices before, but I also know many reason's why. Use basic common sense before touching anything eletronic. Don't touch with wet hands, check to make sure you don't have exposed cords. Never charge a device with a power charger that is the incorrect voltage. Any number of the above warning issues can cause an eletricution which would be cause for concern. Mind you this goes for ANY device plugged into a power charger. NOT just cell phones. It is not wise to jump to conclusions without getting the facts first. Power surges and weather conditons also factor into possible dangerous situations. I use my phone with it plugged in, but I know better then to take chances. I charge in a cool place, and constantly check it for anything abnormal. There are any number of risks with any device. Trick is to be smart and not fear the unknown.

I heard this is not good to pick the phone while on charging but some time my battery is low charging I put my phone on charge and if someone call me I pick the phone. May be danger because I watch the news mobile blast while charging and calling.

I have done that a few times, but now, when I charge my phone, I will shut it off. It is better to charge it when it is off. I don't get but just a few calls anyway, so if someone calls me while it is charging and it is off, then I will just call them back later. I don't know how much of a danger it is to use it when it is charging, but I certainly don't want to take the risk myself, so I will do what is best for the battery and the phone, and trun it off while charging. Take care, and happy mylotting.

I don't think about it. Because I have maximum time do on call for official purpose. So when phone is charging than i make a call. I don't face any problem used mobile phone when it is charging.
