Who are the owners of the numbers mentioned? If this is not true - TRC, Please let the public know whose numbers these are

the engineers have long time back issued scientific explanations on how it is impossible for mobile phone signals to cause these sort of harmful effects. But the willfully illiterate are acting dumb!

Out if ignorance, people are very easily fooled...
How could a call from a telephonenumber be deadly?
People should use their brains...Saturday, 08 May 2010 07:30 AM
I think a lot of mobile companies world over made a lot of money on this. Time and again these kind of hoax appear. So becareful before you forward any SMS
Saturday, 08 May 2010 07:24 AM
Oh Ali, how more dumb can you get?
You want a false fact to be proved not to believe its false?
And how on earth can you prove such a thing mathematically?Saturday, 08 May 2010 07:16 AM
This may be a Bogus Sms to increase the revenue of the Operators!!
Saturday, 08 May 2010 06:05 AM
It.s sceintifically or medically not proved false
Saturday, 08 May 2010 07:09 AM
As long as there are people who are stupid enough to forward these kind of chain emails/sms without finding out the truth, these hoaxes will forever live! This hoax was present even in 2004!

Science and Technology if misused will bring detrimental effects. The mobile phone should be used only when it is really necessary as a user goes through a process of radiation every time he uses it.
Saturday, 08 May 2010 07:05 AM
@Ali, then you watch out when you receive such calls.
Saturday, 08 May 2010 06:59 AM

Surprisingly, this SMS has been sent to Europe as well. Apparently due to some contacts who has my mobile number in Sri Lanka.
Saturday, 08 May 2010 06:32 AM
At last thank god. My phone is flooded with SMS. The best part is that one person claimed that he saw it happening with his own eyes.
Saturday, 08 May 2010 06:29 AM
Seems like a new culture of Trash SMS is being developed like in free web mails. Its better if the authorities take an action as soon as possible to stop this!
Saturday, 08 May 2010 06:28 AM

Saturday, 08 May 2010 06:28 AM
