Brief Analysis

Microwaving your phone certainly will NOT charge its battery. It WILL totally destroy your phone and may damage your microwave oven as well. The message is just a nasty prank designed to trick gullible recipients into ruining their smart phones. While most recipients are likely to quickly see the claims in the message as the nonsense they are, a few more wide-eyed recipients may actually believe what they read and destroy their expensive phones.

Example





A smart phone microwaved for just one minute will fully charge the battery. In 2005 Apple started a smear campaign to discourage customers from using this method to charge phones as it would affect charger sales. Scientific studies shows that charging a phone this way is safe and is actually better for the phone's battery life as electrical current found in mains can fluctuate and damage the battery cell.
