Perhaps we should use spread spectrum techniques instead of a single prominent carrier frequency. That way, the signal will look mostly like noise and will not trigger any biological mechanisms that resonate at certain frequencies.

I do not believe spread spectrum transmission allows for lower transmit or receive power. This would mean that you would just be submitted to more radiation instead of less.

We do use spread spectrum technologies a lot. I don't know about cell phones though.

CDMA, a radio interface used by some cellular carriers (e.g., Verizon Wireless and Sprint in the U.S.), is spread spectrum.[1]
