Cell phone and ICD

Hello everyone. I have had issues with my cell phone ever since I had to have my ICD replaced because of a lead break. Now, prior to the surgery I had no problems whatsoever with the exact same cell phone. Once the new ICD was placed (which has wireless features) I virtually have no reception on my phone. The same exact phone! Please tell me others have experienced this.

Thanks,
Nicole33

Have you given the phone to someone else to see if they get a signal? I suspect it's a coincidence and the problem is the phone.

I haven't had any reaction from my PM at all in regards to my phone. I have had phone probs... a defective speaker, but it was replaced & it works fine now...

I too have had issues with my same exact cell phone...It took me 6 months to decide it was my ICD. Now when it crackles and goes dead ....I remember to put it to the opposite ear and that solves my problem. The phone doesn't seem to bother the ICD- the ICD seems to bother the phone...lol Hope this works for you. I did not have to get another phone. PS: We were thinking about it but it never did it for anyone else and my husband thought I was messing with the buttons. Peace has come to the house.....'till I forget again. Bev of NC
