Peter - how many people do you know who start reaching for their mobile phone shortly before it starts to ring or give any other external indication of an incoming call or text message ?

I know several and I've done it myself on more than one occasion and you probably do it yourself

if you put the phone near electronic equipment with a speaker you can hear something remarkably similar to morse just before the phone receives incoming messages

so no I'd agree the Belgian lady isn't mad, she's probably just a bit more sensitive than most to mobile phone traffic and it's likely she lives quite close to a mobile phone relay
