My roommate has an 802.11b router and it puts ticking sound into my phone, but the phone doesn't affect the router at all.

Do you have the same issue?

Yes, but only sometimes. I think it depends on which channel the phone is on.

Router likes to interfere with the phone. I'll be on the phone and it will click in and out occasionally, although keeping the call, it's still rather annoying.

It doesn't work that way. FCC has to grant you a license to use a frequency and each application is allocated a frequency, a range, or a set of frequencies.

If you don't meet the requirements, FCC will not grant a license.

microwave and router both interfere with the 2.4ghz phone.
the 900mhz ones works perfectly fine.

hehe.
if my cell is sitting on the desk, then the speakers just go berserk at random times.
same happens in the car, when i am about to get a call, like asecond before. I can tell someone is calling me by the speakers in the car before the phone even rings.

Oh NOES, teh radio waves, they burn ;). Frankly, I don't believe cell phones cause cancer, because we are bombarded with radio waves from other sources that are much more powerful.
