@willowdroid im pretty sure it will, its whats transmitted not the volume

I would think you need to answer the phones so they are transmitting steadily. Also be aware that modern phones turn down their transmit power to the lowest needed to achieve error-free communication, so you need all phones to be receiving a poor signal from whatever network they are on. Wrong class - do it in science! In general you can't prove a negative, all you proved is that your particular settup didn't work.
