I get a lot of radio interference when I have an electronic device with a speaker near my phone. I often get static in the phone, and the phone causes static to come out thru the speaker. Often times I notice the static is greater just before the phone rings. I get it when my phone is near an alarm clock, cd player, computers, etc.
I assume that the transmissions from the towers to the phone are what cause the static.
At first I thought it was just something to to with cell phones, but I recently switched to Verizon and had no problems with this whatsoever. I regrettably had to switch back to Cingular because of the limitations of Verizon's international text messaging, and I hated the fact that Verizon disabled data transfers on their phones.
Is the static caused by the GSM network or by the frequency of the network?
Is there a way I can switch the frequency of my cell phone?

What phone do you have?
We run on four different bands of frequency, in what we call quad band phones.
don't worry, it is normal for the phones to do that, in fact, this is how we know we're getting a call in our car - we hear the buzz first, then the ringing.
Unfortunately your phone picks up and recieves all of the frequences at the same time, so to 'switch' would not be possible with the technology there is.

I have a RAZR V3, but the same thing happens with my wife's Nokia 6102i. It must be attributed to the GSM network since I didn't have the problem with Verizon.

From my understanding of the technologies (and I am not claiming to be an expert here), is that any TDMA based system, (of which GSM, iDen, and IS-136 are all variants) will produce the "techno-beat" in near by electronics. The reason for this is b/c of TDMA based phones use empty time slots to listen for other available base stations nearby in the event of a hand off. This causes a power fluctuation in the environment that is picked up by other devices.
The reason why CDMA phones never had this problem, is b/c they are by design able to listen up to 6 other base stations simultaneously. Hence no need to use idle "slots" to pick up a new station and cause the "techno-beat".

My roommate has a RAZR on T-mobile and never gets interference through speakers like I do. He didn't get interference on his previous phones either (Nokia and Samsung). His g/f has T-Mo too and she never gets interference. I've always had interference on my AT&T and Cingular phones, no matter what phone I had. T-mo operates on GSM. So it can't be the GSM that causes the interference. Has to be something else. It's very, very annoying.
