To be fair, not all radiation is the same. For example, you can see visible light (which is itself a form of electromagnetic radiation), but you can't see alpha, beta, or gamma rays or neutron radiation. Gamma rays will set off a radiation survey meter, but infrared radiation will not. Radio waves of all kinds are less potent than light, and light only becomes really dangerous at the higher parts of UV.

Now does this mean that there's no way cell phone radiation can cause cancer or other illnesses? Of course not, this universe is wide and broad and deep, and we should never assume we know everything about it. But on the other hand, it does mean you should be careful comparing things just because they're called the same thing. Most people wouldn't be scared of cancer from the light from a light bulb just because x-rays cause cancer.
