    AFAIK they did that because of GSM interference and the phenomenon mostly disappeared not because those cheap little speakers are mostly extinct, but because the technology used by cell phones changed. In fact, GSM is being phased out in most countries.

      I have an ancient clock radio and it still goes off if my phone is close enough.

      I like that as I hate unexpected calls, so it’s nice to get a heads up.
