Yeah I shouldn't have said constant I had that thought wrong. I guess it is better worded as continuosly syncratic rather than time based. I guess I was thinking the regular check-in would have caused the magnetic interference every time instead of just when the connection was amplified.

I thought TDMA would have died with 2g though. We have so many devices now I would think it would be impossible to have time slots for check ins. Sounds like something fun to look into but unfortunately I doubt I'll ever have time to play with that.

Always something new

I don't think it uses time slots for check-in, just for the voice call part. Especially since a phone changing towers wouldn't know what time slot was available.

I assume the interference is caused by a phone increasing it's power output to establish a voice call, which requires much more power than a data keep-alive/get messages connection.

It's been a long time since I did a deep dive though.
