Agreed. I've tried the phone in the microwave before (works).
A Faraday cage with coarse mesh won't stop RF but that is not a high
intensity signal and is broadband. It will give RF interference but not
kill anything.
What the cage does is stop is capacitative pick up on adjacent objects
like you and other electronic equipment. Also sparks to mains wiring -
nasty. It also solves the problem of an RF earth.



Exactly.  It's a "Faraday cage" (in some sense), but not a "shielding cage"
