Why is it that you cant use them in hospitals exactly? Its clearly not to do with interfering with equipment as phones are operating at digital frequencies now as opposed to radio frequency.

Phones still use radio waves.
They don't really interfere with anything though.

The last twice I've been in hospitals I've made a point of switching my phone off. Just to see the orderlys/ nurses talking on theirs, boils my piss.

The radio waves can affect some of the monitoring equipment. I think the ban was lifted in most parts of hospitals now, But some parts are still banned due to the equipment.

There were signs on the wall telling you to switch off all mobile phones. I did. People who are working there didn't. Why do I need to switch mine off when they don't?
