Question Posted Wednesday July 19 2006, 11:47 pm

Sorry I didn't know what catergory to put this under but anyway.

I have bought a new magnetic sheet for my bed, it has pretty big magnets in it but I was wondering that if I was to lay on my bed with my phone and text people, will it ruin my phone with the radiation and stuff?

I know it wrecked my pop's watch battery because he has a magnetic sheet on his bed too but I was just wondering if it will happen with my phone as well?

Thanks :)

You should avoid putting your phone near any large magnets. The most likely part of the phone to be damaged is it's display, but magnetic fields could also damage its memory and programing.

I can't imagine why anyone would buy magnetic sheets unless they wanted to hang them on the refrigerator! And I imagine they must get into a real tangle in the washing machine and the dryer too!

The supposed health benefits of magnet therapy are bogus- unless you have a pacemaker that they can screw up, that is. Engineers & Physicists regularly work in and around magnetic fields thousands of times as strong as any you can get from a regular magnet. They have no documented health effects, even though OSHA and others have been watching for any for many years.

My advice: Leave the magnets on the refrigerator and feel confident about laying in bed and using your phone.
