Wireless is infrared, I believe. As a blackbody, you emit infrared too.

Most consumer mobile and wireless devices operate anywhere between roughly 700 Mhz and 30 GHz, which is square in the microwave band.

infrared starts at 300 GHz and goes to up to 400 THz (sub-visible).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Except cell phones produce only a maximum of 1 to 2 watts of output, while microwave ovens will produce well over 1000 Watts.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
