Health concerns
Is it dangerous to use mobile phones? How much radiation does a mobile antenna emit? At regular intervals, questions like these tend to pop up. Here you will find information about health and mobile use.
Current research has not come up with anything to suggest that current mobile phone systems affect people's health, but we still cannot rule out the possibility that they might do so.
Radiation from mobile systems has nothing to do with radioactive radiation. In this context, radiation refers to the radio waves emitted from mobile phones and mobile antennas.
To rule out the risk of any detrimental effects, which, in spite of extensive research have yet to be documented, users may also:
- Use hands-free equipment when talking on the mobile phone
- Avoiding long calls
- Send SMS/MMS rather than calling.

What is Telenor doing with respect to radiation?
Comprehensive and continuous research is conducted on radiation from mobile
phones and antennas. Telenor is actively supporting this work, both by backing
ongoing research programmes and through its own personnel who are working with
these issues. Additional to international contacts and separate measuring activities,
we also provide adequate and accurate technical information to people working
with radiation and health issues.
