That is a bit of misinformation there...Cell Phones do not operate in
2.4Ghz.  They operate between 800-2000mhz or 800mhz to 2.0ghz.
Cellphones CAN NOT operate in 2.4ghz, as it is reserved for
scientific/research, as they can not operate lower than 800mhz due to
emergency frequencies (Fire and Ambulance) operating in that range.
