Does the WiFi interfere with cellular signal?

[ghall]

I was getting really bad cellular reception while my WiFi was on, but when I turned it off my cellular signal went to full bars. Is this just a coincidence, or does the WiFi signal really affect the cellular signal?

i would doubt it. there are a ton of signals passing through the phone at any time. be it tv, radio, wifi from other sources, etc. maybe a coincidence?

I wouldn't think it should. GMS operates at 850, 900, 1900, and 1800 MHz, while WiFi is 2.4 GHz.

I've noticed this too.. Most of the time I notice it when I turn WiFi off and it goes from 1 bar to 5 bars almost instantly.

Never had a problem.
My wireless router is always on and signal still full on my iphone.

No, it shouldn't. WiFi has a much higher frequency.

The frequencies are different so there shouldn't be any interfiernce. Haven't personally noticed it so far.
