Using a mobile phone does not increase the risk of developing a brain tumour, the latest research suggests.
But the authors say long-term data is still needed because the technology has not been around long enough to know for sure if mobiles cause any ill health.
They recommended people use hands-free kits to cut the amount of radiation entering the brain.
UK experts have recommended children should also limit the amount of time they spend using mobiles as a precautionary measure
The debate over the safety of mobile phones continues because it is still not absolutely resolved whether or not the electromagnetic radiation emitted from mobile phone handsets is harmful to humans.
