The Confusion About Mobile Phone Use
The overwhelming consensus today is that mobile phone use does not cause cancer or other health problems. There's simply no known reason to believe that it does. The confusion comes because ionizing radiation has been known to cause certain cancers, and we hold our phones pretty close to our heads when we don't have those headphones plugged in.

If you are feeling conspiratorial, or you don't like to feel hot and have a hot spear, then certain headphones or loudspeaker is the way to go.
