Disadvantages of a mobile phone
 Cost- With monthly costs starting at $40 for voice service as of 200, cell
phone use is expensive. Added to that are the costs of hardware, text
messaging, roaming, and downloading.
 Distraction- Cell phones can ring in the middle of movies, music concerts,
plays, and other areas where silence is required, such as libraries, bookstores,
and hospital rooms. This happens despite signs and verbal requests. In
addition, glow of cell phone screens from text messages can annoy and
distract people in the darkness of a theater.
 Driving- Cell phone use while operating a vehicle has caused so many
accidents that five states banned calling and 12 had prohibited text
messaging, as of 2009.
Disadvantages of a mobile phone
continued
 Lack of privacy- Because cell phones provide no audio
feedback, through the earpiece , some people talk much
louder with cell phones than they do through landlines.
This exposes the people around them to their
conversations.
 Health- Cell phones emit low levels of radio frequency
radiation. Large amounts of this energy can heat and
damage tissue, especially around the eyes and testicles,
which do not have enough blood flow to carry such heat.
There is also concern that cell phones might cause cancer,
headaches, sleep problems, and memory loss.
