Yikes.....Even my alltel phone wouldn't work after that....

Any EMP is merely induced current, most electrical systems are grounded and would handle the induced current and/or voltage.

That's not the impression I got from the EMP laydown article.

That is just a website to promote fear in my opinion. The simple fact is that electricity and electronics work on basic priciples, EMP would be a form of induction, grounded circuits and components will handle most induction, there might be some scattered damaged items, but not the end of the information age and electronic components.

What model do you have and how often do you have it updated? Sometimes if you update the software in it and update the towers it will help. My razr works great.

What do you know about 'solid state' junctions?

I do that regularly. I just wish somebody would make a phone that works like a phone, instead of all the gizmos which I have no use for! I have gone through probably a dozen phones in the past few years, and they were not damaged by me, etc. It is just poor quality electronics. Now my old analog bag phone would work anywhere, including Alaska and Timbucktuu!! Of course, when everything is made in China, that is what you get!
