Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I am technologically challenged!
Would simply switching a phone to 4g resolve the issue?

5G signals are here now, phone or not
So you are saying that even if we have no devices near us, and are located within a certain distance of a cell tower, we’re still subjected to the “frequencies”, so shielding any devices won’t matter?
Someone correct me if I am wrong. It is my understanding the 3g, 4g 5g etc are similar to tv, Am, Fm singals. They are there within boundaries of their broadcast zone. You need a receiver to decode the signal. People are talking about Farady-ing or turning off their devices to not allow reception and decoding if the broadcast signal. I am afraid phone users may find the message awaiting in que when they power back up just as you received missed texts and phone calls when you power back your phone from a drained battery. You can probably avoid the ATSC and FM tests by turning off OTA tv’s and radios. (Not smart tv’s)
