Phone and Wifi

Hi all... I have a question - has anyone else's PM interfered with their phones and WiFi signals? Since my PM my phone keeps on freezing and battles to connect to the WiFi at times. This sounds strange, but I'm not sure if my phone is faulty or could this be a possibility?

Bathed in electronics

I'd blame not the PM , but the phone .. maybe the batteries are weak ... We do seem to be submerged in electronic signals .. yet this may mean nothing .

It's the phone

Have the phone checked out. Better yet, get one of the new ones with all the neat stuff.

Interference not likely to be PM

I am not an expert, but I think PM's output is very low and localised. Even if it is the PM interfering, cheaper to get a new phone!

Not a chance

If anything, the phone should be affecting the PM, not the other way round. They operate at different frequencies. I sit with my smartphone on my belly and read the internet news, etc. with no problems.

No problem

Use my phone with WiFi less than 12 inches away from my PM. Have never had a problem. Doing this for over 8 months.

You know you're wired when...

Your friends want to store MP3 files on your device.
