I doubt that there is a confidentiality issue. People usually say so if there is. I think it's more likely that no-one has experienced any such phenomenon. In UK I've heard, in the past, of immunity issues with European-type RCCBs (Residual-Current Circuit Breakers), which sense the difference between line and neutral currents. But the problem was with quite strong conducted emissions at low radio frequencies (not even as high as 1.6 MHz), not wireless phones. I believe there is no such immunity issue in Europe at present. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
