The government made a new rule for old vehicles. They say cars older than 10 years must be scrapped.
Also, they want to do the same for phones that are 5 years old. They talk about SAR value, a kind of radiation from phones.
But this news is not true. Some people share this on social media, like Instagram. But it’s false. The government already set rules for SAR value that phone companies must follow.
You can find SAR details on your phone box. The Department of Telecommunications didn’t say to turn off old phones. You can use your phone for as long as you want.
This rule about SAR is not new. The government made it on September 1, 2013.
To check SAR value, look on your phone box. If you don’t have it, dial *#07# on your phone. Then you can see the SAR details.
