Use a cellphone under trees in rain.

Learned few days ago that it's not actually dangerous, at least doesn't make you have a higher change to be struck by thunder.

To be honest, I feel like I'd be more concerned with my phone getting water damaged, than getting struck by lightning.

It's not a good idea to stand under a tree when it's lightning, but if you really want to for some reason, then don't stand next to a trunk.
