discussion Phone Problem

[Guest]

My phone stays downstairs at night but my wife insists on having hers on the bedside table - "Suppose there's an emergency" is her excuse. We have never had "an emergency" but I not going to argue and so I still have a bleeping phone at silly o'clock at night!! :rolling: :sad:

Jim , when we have been married as long as we have ( not to each other I hasten to add :smiling2
I fully concur with agreeing to the ideas about things like this.
In my case the phone is always on, but half the time I don't hear it ring( Ask Isit me )
and I get very few calls these days .

Very strange thing Chris , if your computer is linked to your phone and repeatedly sending you the messages you must be able to clear the phone numbers on the reminder list. That could be why your friend's wife keeps getting messages.
The other way would be to block the call on the phone.

Can only suggest you call Vodafone customer services.... That's going to be the only way to stop it.

Chris.I wouldn't worry about the effects of using a mobile. I've been supplying data to a research hospital in London for the last 15 years on my usage.

That sounds interesting. What's involved?

Chris, if Jen is worried about mobile use and radiation, ask her to read these..
https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/ab...er/cancer-myths/do-mobile-phones-cause-cancer
https://www.fda.gov/radiation-emitting-products/cell-phones/do-cell-phones-pose-health-hazard
https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/radiation-exposure/cellular-phones.html
https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/radiation/cell-phones-fact-sheet

From these, which are well written articles on reliable and well regarded websites, she can draw her own conclusions.

The bottom line is that the radiation emitted by a mobile phone is very weak, and more importantly, is what is called “non ionising”. This means it cannot adversely impact on cellular DNA, so is extremely unlikely to cause abnormalities that grow into cancers. She will get a higher dose of ionising radiation from walking in the sun or sitting in front of a TV.

Well said. People don't realise how much were exposed to just walking around......

I've been part of a study since 2010.
COSMOS: Studying the health impacts of mobile phone use
These preliminary findings are part of the Cohort Study of Mobile Phone Use and Health (COSMOS), launched in 2010 and led by Professor Elliott and Professor Mireille Toledano. The study is following the health of over 100,000 adult mobile phone users in the UK and a further 200,000 users in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, The Netherlands and France, for 20-30 years to address the knowledge gap in the possible long-term health effects of mobile phone use.

Participants complete an on-line questionnaire about their mobile phone use, health and lifestyle. The researchers are then analysing and monitoring this data to see if participants develop any health problems as a result of their mobile phone use such as cancer and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's.
Not had any questions recently , think the last time was before Covid .
Still good to be part of some thing as important.

Hi Chris, sorry to hear you are having trouble. It sounds like it’s a reminder that you have set yourself (on certain models reminders and alarms will work despite the phone being turned off), especially seeing as it is something as specific as ‘Warship Day.’ I also don’t think it’s anything to do with the ‘Vodaphone Computer,’ with the sort of phone you are describing, it doesn’t sound likely that it‘s an external source, although I’m a little confused, sometimes you say it’s messages, other times it’s ringing?

The best thing if you don’t want to take it into a phone shop, is to remove the battery over night, It won’t wear out the connections out. If you can’t hear it, and Jen won’t use it, you may as well leave it in another room of the house as well. Have a look in the reminders/alarms menu, and you may well find something you can turn off. Hope that helps.
