Interference

According to iputz now you have put the phone in Airplane mode and it stopped you should know what to do ????
I think we both need help here, l haven’t got a clue what to do.
No doubt when he comes back online he will have the answer
 
Look up ferrite chokes.
Read this and look into getting some of these.

Again, read up about ferrite chokes, and what they do. And you will most likely need snap on ferrite chokes for what you will be using them for.
 
Placed on every coax cable or wiring that has the interference. Wrap the ferrite choke around the wire as many times as possible. Place the chokes on the coax for the cable box and also on any plug wire that is being affected. These things do work, I’ve used them not only to rid of RFI/TVI issues with not only my TVs and computers but also my neighbors as well with issues related to ham radio station causing issues at their place. Again. It’s a good idea to read up on how and why to use ferrite chokes and how they work. You can get them off eBay, Amazon, and many other places if you look around.
Here is some more info on ferrite chokes.
Here is a good article.

Using Ferrite Chokes to Suppress Cellular RFI from Your Wireless System

You’ve heard it before. Under the right (or wrong) circumstances, some types of cellular phones are capable of interacting with audio equipment and causing audible interference. Since the first GSM-type mobile networks went up, the alien clicks and buzzes (sometimes known as “Blackberry buzz”) have terrorized audio professionals everywhere. I’m sure you know the characteristic blip-blip-blip bzzzzzzz all too well.
The problem isn’t as bad as it once was, because GSM phones, whose handsets are largely responsible for Blackberry buzz, are being displaced by LTE/CDMA models in many countries, but it still happens.
Dispelling Myths About Interference
I’d like to address the confusion around this type of troublesome interference, and introduce a simple, inexpensive device called the ferrite choke that can be used to stop it.
Many wireless audio users erroneously attribute Blackberry buzz to cell phones being “on my frequency.” In fact, active cellular networks are hundreds of megahertz away from the top of the UHF band and cannot directly interfere with wireless microphone receivers, whose front-ends are well equipped to defend against them.
A ferrite core can be especially effective when used with small diameter cables, such as those use on lavaliere mics or comm headset cords, which can be susceptible to RFI interference

Rather, Blackberry buzz is caused by GSM handsets initiating communication using pulsed data bursts, which inadvertently and adversely interact with electronic components found inside a wide variety of audio equipment — and not just wireless mics. If the rapid on/off signaling between phone and base station is able to enter the signal pathway of an audio system, it can be rectified by non-linear components — usually amplifiers — and create false voltages at audio frequencies, which are converted into audio later on by speakers (Note: I must acknowledge Henry Cohen of CP Communications for helping to confirm this.)
An Ounce of Prevention
You can prevent Blackberry buzz in three ways: Turn off cellphones, keep active cellphones a safe distance away from audio equipment or physically prevent radio frequency energy from entering devices.
The first two are obvious and easy enough, but the ubiquity of cellular and smartphones makes it difficult to exclude cellphones from everywhere audio equipment is used.
Usually, electronics keep ambient radio frequency energy out through shielding and filtering. But even on a well-designed piece of gear, there are opportunities for electromagnetic infiltration.
The most common entry point is a length of unshielded, poorly shielded or damaged cable, like a lavalier mic or intercom headset cord, which acts as an antenna. XLR cables can also unintentionally conduct radio waves and leak them into a system via a loophole called the Shield-Current Induced Noise (SCIN) effect.
Enter the Ferrite Choke

Ferrite chokes are passive devices that selectively block or dissipate high frequencies traveling through a cable. You might think of them like electrical toll booths, allowing audio frequencies to pass through while keeping radio frequencies out. There are lots of different kinds of ferrite chokes, some of which are expensive, finicky, hard to install and poorly suited for suppressing GSM frequencies, which may be as high as 1,800 MHz.
 
This is just some material on the issue. There is lots more that explain how RF energy affects TV’s, Computers, and pretty well any electrical device it can.
 
Thank you for all your help. I did look it up but I have no idea where to put these things. Totally at a loss. Again thank you.

Place them at the cable box on the coax. Same for computers, place them on the power cord, the cable for monitor, and so on. If you read up on them more you’ll find how to use the ones I posted. And they will most likely rid you of all your RF noise issues. If you need more help, PM me and I’ll be glad to show you a pic or 2 of how they get installed onto cables and coax for cable tv. Anyhow, good luck with whatever you do and hope you get it resolved. May want to look into some better shielded cables and also cable tv coax that is well shielded. Good day.
 
Please don’t misunderstand me. So far from memory 2 different model iPhones. 2 different data suppliers.
2 different model motor cars.

If Airplane mode is off the problem goes away.
This was suggested by iputz but they have not come back online yet.
I would recommend if possible she finds a friend with the same data company and brings them home [emoji38]
iPhone or Android.

If the house has a problem with radio transmissions and stuff why is it not being effected by the other iPhones in the house?? She has after all 2 tried.
Wrapping the house in cables is not the answer in my opinion. But what do l know [emoji848]
 
My Grandaughter who lives with us has the same provider and has a I-phone 5s. I think I will have to ban my daughter from the house. :)
 
If the phone is simply sitting on a table, what then ?

Pm sent.
 
It's okay until she receives a txt or e-mail or a call. If she sends any it's the same.
