Ever hear a weird popping sound from your speakers when your cell phone is too close to them? That's your phone transmitting. The coded bursts for some reason are in the audible spectrum, and your speakers pick it up. Wanna know if your phone is transmitting? Set it next to your speakers!

We at times forget to turn the cell phones off in the cockpit. We can hear the tone and popping in the cockpit speakers and headsets when a call is coming in...
BTW, it does not disrupt our communication or navigation in the plane. It does keep the airlines from making as much money on calls... That said, last thing I want is a free for all in the cabin with everyone being able to jabber away for hours on their cell phone sitting next to someone who needs or wants to work or sleep.
