I'm on my phone a lot but i dont call a lot. does playing on the phone increase chances of tumor even if you aren't calling?

Not so clearcut: I know of the rumors of brain tumors associated with cell phone usage, but not proven at all, at this point, and if you play games on your phone, it is likely far away from your ear, anyway. Enjoy your games, as am not aware of any risk.

No!: There is no risk of Cancer from using the phone. But you do need to avoid wasting your time conversing endlessly....It may be better to use that extra time to learn something by reading a Book or newspaper or a magazine. You will feel good being smarter as you learn something New Every day!
