New Yes. And. a nearby tower is good for you!
It allows your cell phone to broadcast a weaker signal for a given (signal/noise ratio) situation. Many cell phones have at least two signal levels for broadcasting - e.g. 0.6 watts and 3 watts. If you're close to the tower, the lower transmit strength is adequate. That means it is less likely to affect to your body. It makes a difference to your cell phone's battery life as well.

Those "signal bars" on the cell phone displays aren't just of peripheral interest. They influence your cell phone's behavior.

New Love. It.
Indeed the celfones are quite cleverer than those users with now permanent indentations in the ear area. Can implants be more than a hop, $kip and a jump - away?
