Is it dangerous to use mobile phones in thunderstorm weather?

It's really dangerous to make phone calls indoors in thunderstorm weather. Rural bungalows, in particular, are more vulnerable to lightning strikes than urban buildings. Because there are few people in the countryside and the telephone lines are overhead, it is easy to be struck by lightning at high altitude. In addition, when someone uses a telephone, there is current flowing through the telephone line, which also has the function of "attracting" thunder. Not only that, you may be struck by lightning when you use your mobile phone in thunderstorm weather. Moreover, the current technical means can not 100% "lightning protection".

Due to the interference of lightning, the wireless frequency hopping of mobile phones is enhanced, which is easy to induce lightning strikes, machine burning and other accidents. But generally speaking, there are lightning protection devices in public residential areas, and people are relatively safe in this environment. Thunder and lightning will only interfere with the mobile phone signal, damage the chip at most, and will not cause fatal harm to the human body. Once in the open area, people and mobile phones will become obvious bumps on the ground, and mobile phones are likely to become the discharge objects of Lei Yun's choice. Experts from the lightning protection center reminded the public to strengthen their awareness of lightning protection, especially the power supply and signal system, and try to avoid making phone calls or answering mobile phones when it thunders. When walking through an area without obstacles in a thunderstorm, it is best to turn off the power of the mobile phone. "
