Can I play with my mobile phone indoors when it thunders? Is it dangerous to play mobile phone indoors when it thunders?

1. You can play with your mobile phone indoors when it thunders. Mobile phone signals belong to high-frequency electromagnetic waves, while lightning is mainly low-frequency waves, so it is basically impossible to interfere with mobile phone signals. So thunder actually has no effect on making a phone call, even when it thunders, you can make a phone call.

You can't turn on the TV and computer in thunderstorm weather, so you must unplug it, as well as other household appliances. This is because if lightning happens to reach the sky and around your home, the strongly changing magnetic field generated by lightning discharge will induce current to the metal wires and other conductive substances in your home. If your household appliances are not unplugged, the strong current generated by these lightning will instantly burn out your household appliances. Once it is too strong, it may cause the household appliances to catch fire, thus causing a fire.
