Cell phone oddity

I am 37 years old and have had a pacemaker for 36 years, my most recent one is eight years old. I have been through three new cell phones recently, they keep malfunctioning. Anyone hear of a correlation with old ish pacers and new cell phones?!

Have never heard of that! I seem to kill batteries faster than anyone I know- mostly cell phones and ipods. I figure it's just bad luck or I've dropped them too many times, never considered it might be the pm.

Were all the phones the same model?

Yes!

All Blackberry Bolds - kind of random. I called Medtronic and they haven't heard of it but also said it could happen. They test other things on their devices but not the other way around.
