Never, Ever Do This... Mobile phone charging through the mains ???
A few days ago, a person was recharging his mobile phone at home.
Just at that time a call came in and he answered it with the
phone still charging. After a few seconds electricity flowed into the mobile phone unrestrained
and the young man was thrown to the ground with a heavy thud.
His parents rushed to the room only to find him unconscious, with
a weak heartbeat and burnt fingers. He was rushed to the nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Mobile phones are a very useful modern invention. However, we must be aware that it can also be an instrument of death.
Never use a mobile phone while it is charging!

I'm a little curious as to how this could happen?
I'm not for one minute suggesting that it couldn't, but wonder if you know the original source of that report Ally?
Most mobile phones today are all plastic so how could one get fried that way?
Even if the battery exploded, there would be a high chance that it would not kill you?
Anyone else got a view on this?

I use my mobile while it's charging, and will continue to do so. Infact, as I'm typing on my mobile, it is charging.
