It's certainly possible for the signal from any RF transmitter to get 
into all sorts of electronic equipment, and interfere with their correct 
operation.

If you've had a mobile phone near (say) an audio amplifier or radio 
receiver, you will have probably heard the 'rattattattat' sound as the 
phone occasionally checks in with the base station (especially if it's 
in a weak signal area, and it needs to transmit at full power in order 
for the base station to hear it).

Modems and routers can also be affected (but, of course, you don't hear 
the noise). The only way to check is see if you get the same problems 
when the phones are switched off. Note that some chargers themselves 
emit a lot of RF interference, so you may need to switch these off too.
