Use the speakerphone

Keep your cell phone far away from you

For those who sleep with their phones very close to them when they are in a Lagos hotel, this is perhaps the time to stop that habit. Keep your phones as far away from you as possible. You do not want your phone emitting dangerous energy into your body while sleeping.

Avoid wearing Bluetooth always

Bluetooth wireless devices expose you to radiation. However, the radiation is not as much as that of your phone. In any case. you should not wear Bluetooth always.

Keep your phone fully charged 

Your phone is more likely to emit radiation when the battery is low. This is because your phone is forcing itself to connect to the network. It is easy for your to find the network when the battery is fully charged. As a caution, do not make calls with low battery mobile phones.

Use the earplugs

Phones usually come with earphones. They are not there for fun. Hence, rather than use your phone to talk, you should use your earplugs.

Text instead of calling

Nowadays, you do not even need to use text messages. There are messaging platforms you can use for chatting including WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and BBM.

Take a phone break

You can take a break from your phone. This does not mean you should leave your phone at home. You should just reduce usage.
