In my case the phone has never been in my pocket while in use.
The phone may occasionally ping the cell tower. Otherwise it
is just listening in standby mode, in plain words, not transmitting.

- kube-system 7y agoPlenty of people use hand-free devices with their phones in their pockets. Many others hold the phone against their head when talking on it. Additionally, there are many network-intensive applications which can be used while the phone is in your pocket, i.e. mobile hotspot. Probably the least common scenario is for a phone to be transmitting at full power when it's not in close contact with a human.
