Yes....I know that....the frequency of radio waves of cell phones do not cause cancer however as they are long waves......not short wave like gamma waves....which most definately cause cancer. Microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum cannot cause cancer as they do not have energy needed to ionize atoms or knock out electrons from atoms.
