Can you make a phone call in a typhoon?

Typhoon is easy to be accompanied by lightning, so try not to make phone calls.

It's dangerous to call the landline. In 2004, a farmer was killed by lightning in a thunderstorm in the suburbs of Beijing. Because the telephone line is a metal wire, lightning current can enter the room along the telephone line.

There is no problem with playing mobile phones at all. The theoretical basis of mobile phone lightning is that mobile phone electromagnetic waves can penetrate the air to form electromagnetic fields, and then attract lightning at high altitude. But the cell phone frequency and lightning frequency are not in the same frequency band at all, and cell phone lightning is completely nonsense. If the power of the mobile phone is small enough to attract lightning, then the communication towers of China Mobile and China Unicom will not attract more lightning.

Why is my mobile phone hit by lightning in the wild? The key is not to use the mobile phone, but to be in the wild. When you become the highest point in the surrounding environment, the probability of being struck by lightning is quite high. Trees in the wild can't use mobile phones, nor can towering buildings in cities, but they are often the targets of lightning strikes.
