I had a 98 mitsubishi montero sport, and this would ALWAYS happen.

I even changed phones and it still happens. What's the dilly yo? haha

Default errrr, no.

Digital phones only run at .3 watts. The issue is on GSM systems, as they often run at 900 mhz, right in the meat of the reception band. Since the signal is envrypted, it sounds like fuzz. In other words, I bet he has GSM, and is hearing feedback.

Default get a different phone...

for nokias...the ones that end in "60", ie; "8260", "6160" are TDMA phones that follow the specs Ed mentioned above...the GSM phones are the ones that end in "90".

Default When my cell rings, it "fuzzes" through any close speaker!

i think its just interference or soemthing. it lets me know when my cells ringing if i have the music up loud :-)
