“A mobile phone is designed to operate at a maximum power level of 0.6 watts. “A household microwave oven uses between 600 and 1,100 watts.”

Cell phones have low-power transmitters in them. Many cell phones have two signal strengths: 0.6 watts and 3 watts (for comparison, most CB radios transmit at 4 watts).
