Does texting emit less EMF compared to a voice call?

Yes. An SMS message is sent using a very short data transmission and where the phone is physically away from the head.

In terms of exposure levels the WHO notes that:

"A person using a mobile phone 30-40 cm away from their body - for example when text messaging, accessing the Internet, or using a "hands free" device - will therefore have a much lower exposure to radiofrequency fields than someone holding the handset against their head."
