Anyone with a cellphone PLEASE READ!!!!!

That story is an absolute impossibility. The cell phone charger would be a pile of charred plastic long before it sent that kind of current into the phone.

My cell phone has to be turned off to be charged anyway. No way it could ring.

That story is an absolute impossibility.

The cell phone charger would be a pile of charred plastic long before
it sent that kind of current into the phone.

Given the sketchy details of the original story, I will agree that being "injured" by
talking on a Cell Phone while only the two factors of 1) The phone was being charged,
and 2) the phone *RANG* is rather far-fetched.

First: The phone won't *RING* if you're talking on it - the second call is announced by
a tone or a *beep* - softly, in your earphone.

Secondly: "Charging" isn't a high-voltage or high-current event ...

POSSIBLY: You could have a defective or poorly made BATTERY - they have been known
to either explode or burst into flames ... probably not *phunn* if you're holding the phone
to your ear when it goes *Zapp* or *BOOM*!

The Greatest Danger is using ANY Appliance or Device that is connected to any WIRES
during an electrical / lightning storm!
If it "plugs in" to the wall - be it land-line telephone, cell phone connected to a charger,
hair dryer, microwave oven, or coffee pot ~~~
Do NOT Touch it if you see lightning or hear thunder!

Lightning travels in Very Strange Ways - you're at risk if you're just touching ANY electrical
or electronic device during a storm.
Go sit in a soft chair and *pat* a Dawg or a Kat --- THEY aren't too dangerous in a storm.

Thanks Phred. I'd rather pat a cat anyway. Cellphones don't purr.

True, mine doesn't purr either, but it does play the meow mix jingle instead of ringing. ROFL

Have you heard the "meowing" one that comes on some Samsung phones? For years my friend had it as his ringtone and it would trick me every time!! It was especially funny when we were out in public, people would stop and start looking around for a kitty hehe
