Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I forgot to mention that the cell phones I've use have been flip phones also. The non-flips don't seem to work nearly as well. Another thought I had is that with the newer phones, the battery is so tiny, so that might be a factor as well. The battery on my LG is just tiny!!

Supposedly there is less of a problem with flip phones because the battery and antenna are further away from the CI. Also, phones that can be set for the backlight and other features to shut off more quickly produce less interference. Static is, of course, only one type of interference you can get, but it is the most common. My new cell has a speaker phone option, but I haven't tried it yet. I have always had a flip phone, and have never had trouble with interference between the cell phone and my CI. I'm just wondering if the statements in the information they send out are not as applicable as they once were with the new technology in both CI's and cell phones or, maybe, I just haven't had trouble because I have a flip phone with a backlight that shuts off in 15 seconds.
