Mobile phones have grown rapidly using today's wireless technology thereby providing a new dimension to simplify daily routine jobs by users. Mobile phone's applications have a great impact on the way of faster and more effective to convey information. In contrast, mobile phones could harm its users. This paper explored detrimental effects of mobile phones on energy consumption, electromagnetic radiofrequency radiation, environment, health and accidents. The effect of mobile phone's energy consumption can be considered during energy spend for its production and use. The electromagnetic radiofrequency radiation (EMRF) may cause adverse health effects on human. The raw materials which are used to manufacture for mobile phones may cause the severe environmental impacts due to their levels of toxicity. The health hazards are correlated with high-toxic substances released from the mobile phones and its addiction through a prolonged use. Mobile phone usage while driving can cause road traffic collisions and motor vehicle crashes. Furthermore, sustainable perspectives have been suggested as a way to overcoming these detrimental effects of mobile phones.
