Using 5G

Using 5G. I have been made wary of using 5G, by people I enjoy following online. Anyone else heard anything regarding 5G and carcinogenic links? Anyway I appreciate it’s a personal choice but does anyone know if there are other options available via EE contract

@Buzzboy 5G is less carcinogenic than red meat, All of EEs products run over 5G/4G and for now 2G. The same things were said when 4G rolled out. You can switch off 5G on your device if you choose. but 5G will still be around you being given off via the many cellular masts from all networks. It’s not just the phone.
I suppose these people you follow are in to conspiracy theories as well. If 5G has any effect on you or anyone else then you can be sure there won’t be a 5G network. It’s perfectly safe to use and it’s been around you since 2019 for consumers.

You can probably find a website somewhere, that would make you wary of doing almost anything or undertaking many popular activities!
