The short and simple answer is NO.
Trying to charge your cellphone in the microwave will at minimum destroy your phone and could do lots more damage
There I a joke being forwarded on the Internet about charging your phone in the microwave. It is a joke. However, it does not tell you that and people believe it. It is based on the concept that some devices can receive their power through ethernet cable (poe) and also that it is possible but I have not seen used yet to do charging/powering of devices thru wireless signals and some chargers just allow you to lay the device on a charger.
If you try to charge your phone in the microwave first off it will destroy your phone so no more charging or using it. Secondly you could cause a fire in your microwave just as if you put a metallic pan or other object in it. That fire could spread (microwaves are not fire-resistant devices and burn your home or business down.
Realize it is a joke the items on the Internet and do not forward them as there are people who will believe it and try it. Let’s keep the world a little safer. If you read it on the Internet, use common sense and determine if it is real before trying for your health, wealth and safety.
Thank you to Evelyn for the article idea.

TO SUBSCRIBE This is a little article I am doing across the Internet of my personal opinions. This reflects my personal thoughts. I try to write several times a month on a variety of subjects. It may be religious at times, political at times, and at other times just my reactions on something happening out there. It will often be like an op-ed article. If I do what I intend, you will at times want to shout I agree, other times you will want to say Dwight has really lost it now, but most importantly I want to challenge you to think. Feel free to forward this to others. If you don't want to get this e-mail let me know. Feel free to use what you read from me, but I request you give me credit and send a tear sheet if published in a newspaper or magazine. Thanks.
