I will try to answer this question as best I can. I will state what I
have verified, and leave most of the speculation out.
*1)* Most newer phones actually emit radiation even when off. I believe
this change was made to facilitate a system of constant awareness of
where one is at all times. There are avoidance methods for this I will
discuss farther down. Also your phone can be remotely activated to
facilitate extraction of GPS coords, phone logs, and even activate the
microphone and camera. I suspect newer phones will have cameras on both
sides of the phone. (watch and see) Any photograph taken with your phone
is imprinted with very precise map coordinates of the location of the
photo.
*2)* Many newer phones have what is called "NFC" or "Nearfield
Communication", this is basically an RFID broadcast/receive system in
the phone. This will transmit even when the phone is turned off. The
stated purpose of this is so you can use your phone to pay for things,
buy gas, etc. However the unstated purpose is for tracking and
identification of people. I expect they will replace all paper currency
soon to contain a small RFID antenna linked to the serial number of the
money so they can track cash movement, probably through a combination of
technological devices. ATM machines will scan them, link them to your
account, and your phone will ping back your currency situation, GPS
location, etc. NFC is already operational in some airports, and allows
them to see who you are, where you are, and what you are doing to a more
accurate degree. It's not Sci-Fi, it's already here:

*3)* Most newer phones have "Variable" radiation levels, and this varies
by a huge amount. Unknown to customers, some phones are using a sort of
piggyback bandwidth system. Where if you are closer to an antenna than
Joe, Joe rides on your signal. What this does is increase the radiation
coming off your phone. AT&T is one company to avoid, I have measured
very strong signals coming off their phones at 10YARDS! One researcher
said he discovered overly high radiation on some phones at 100 feet.
Another thing is some phones are multi-band, and will use several bands
at once. If you are on 4G, and using 4G services, your background GPS
and other stuff might be on CDMA, this increases the radiation and
frequency spread.. Given this, probably not a good idea to have them in
ones sleeping location.
*4)* Most phones are heavily shielded on the opposite side of your head
(that means non-beneficial to you). I have experimented with discarded
phones and found them nearly indestructible to conventional methods to
disable electronics. Once opened up, you will find super strong faraday
cages and magnetic shielding on the important chips. (at least on the
phones I hammered in half) But here is the odd part, this shielding is
on the opposite side of the persons head in many cases. I took a rare
earth magnet, capable of lifting over 30 pounds of steel and placed it
on a Nokia phone for 24 hours. The phone was fully functional after
this. This is strange in an age when we're sold things that almost self
destruct, have cheap components, and are designed to wear out with even
mediocre use. Phones are the exception to this apparently.
*5) *Many new phones can bypass a pretty decent aluminum faraday cage,
try it and see. Take a shoebox, line it with tin foil, place the phone
inside, then call the phone. This was not possible years ago with older
phones, but I am not entirely sure why newer phones aren't responding to
basic level shielding. Aluminum only blocks only certain kinds of
radiation, which is why Xray machines have an aluminum cover over the
gun that shoots the energy. (forgot the specifics, I no longer work in
that field) Perhaps something changed with the radiation. This is worthy
of further investigation.
Not one to present problems, or potential problems without solutions. So
here are some solutions, all of which have not been investigated by me
because frankly, I don't own or carry a cell phone.
*1)* The only reasonably anonymous phone company left from what I can
gather is Tracfone. You can activate online and choose to not disclose
any information, and if you paid with cash at Target for everything, you
are good to go. But the first time a phone is activated that GPS
location is forever tagged. So some precautions, even with this phone
would be to Pay cash, activate outside of your home area, and use a
public access terminal to do it (Library Computer, etc) Even so, through
usage patterns you will eventually be tagged, so replacement of the
phone yearly is a good precaution. Many phones have hidden "Repair Mode"
menus in them where you can disable GPS and a bunch of other stuff,
research would have to be done for each particular phone. Make friends
with someone that programs them perhaps.
*2)* Keep your phone in an Anti-Radiation case. Depending on how you
slip your phone into the case, it blocks either one side of the
radiation (The side your body is on), or complete radiation. It also
prevents all remote activation, GPS tracking, and background ping
activity. This solution is easier than constantly removing batteries,
but also some phones have LiON backup batteries.

*3) *Leave your phone in the car. I don't allow cell phones in my home,
even before I put up the faraday cage on it. My brother in-law
discovered his (AT&T) phone was shorting out his computer it was so
strong, I think he leaves it in his work truck now. Ideally, simply not
owning a phone is probably not a bad idea, I enjoy my privacy and not
having people able to reach me everywhere I am in life, there is a
certain tranquility involved with that.
I've spoken to former military radar and communications experts. It's
been many years, and I've long moved on from this subject, so I am a bit
foggy about this. At any rate, the design of cell towers isn't idea for
communications according to these folks. They seemed to speculate that
these towers would be better suited to direct targeting because of their
triple di-pole fractal design, anything beyond this isn't in the scope
of this conversation and I will leave it at that. (Tri(3)-Angulation)
Finally, and more important, much of the components in cell phones comes
with the blood of innocents on them. From an energetic standpoint, this
isn't a good thing. Most people aren't aware of this, but cell phones
contain a lot of an mineral called "Coltan", and the companies behind
cell phones have done a lot to promote genocide in Africa to get this
mineral as cheap as possible. A college student first exposed this, and
he was targeted for heavy harassment for exposing this to levels that
people can't imagine. Companies like Motorola openly support genocidal
warlords over there because they offer the cheapest Coltan in exchange
for their support. Search up "Coltan Cell Phones" for a wakeup
call..http://www.seeingisbelieving.ca/cell/kinshasa/
Hope this helps explain some of the basics.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone know of a cell phone radiation danger when
the phone is not in use? Does it only emit radiation when you are
actually talking? Or all the time???
Thanks.
