I was thinking why in some places, like in a gas station, there is a warning saying: "Turn Off your Mobile Phone" or something like that. Is there any danger leaving your phone on or is just a precaution??

there is theoretical possibility that spark from circuits of mobile phone can provoke explosion of flamable gases... :-)

Or that you drop the fone on the gas and it causes a spark.
Or that you drop the fone on the gas and you wet the fone... then you have a wet fone

Thank you so much masseur  And sorry for posting a thread already discussed, I promise use the search function twices the next time I post a new thread 
So I wonder, why does it says "Turn Off your Mobile" isn't the phone still working with the battery while it's still off??  Or thats what I think, because the clock and alarm functions are still working
EDIT: And did anyone hear the new about a phone (a Sharp in Vodafone) which exploted when the owner was trying to make a call??

Has anyone else ever been as amused as i have at those movies where the bad guy flicks a cigarette butt onto some gasoline and everything goes boom? Unless it's a naked flame or the fumes have really built up in a serious way it's not likely to explode that easily, or so a Physics Prof once told me.

this was on braniac once!
mobile phones do not cause explosions. I think its synthetic material that does, cos this dude used a mobile phone for a bit next to a load of petrol and gas (and a caravan) and nothing happened, but he put on some synthetic clothes and jumped up and down, touched a wire that lead towards some petrol, and the caravan exploded

It is not allowed in banks here in India and also in many manufacturing plants. Thats because the high frequency signals emitted by the phones can cause maloperation of various sensitive devices in these plants.

The Mythbusters did a "gas station" test on the Discovery Channel. Nothing happened... not even a hint of a spark.
They filled a box with gas fumes, had a mobile inside, made calls, turned it off & on, shorted the battery, shorted the phone... everything possible and improbable. Nothing happened.
