I'm not sure about relaying, Gali.  But I can tell you that I've had my cell in my desk drawer before and have heard a sort of static clicking sound on my computer speakers just before it rings or during it's "search for service."  

 

Not sure if this answers your question at all, but ......

 

 

 

It may be "searching for service" although, I dont know why it would have to.  We never have a signal problem here.  I just dont know how these things work. 

If the cell phoneis setting closer to the monitor it might be strong enough to partially deguass the monitor. That will make the screen look like it might be static.

Right, I understand that.  Thank you.  I was just wondering why it does it periodically, as if the phone is about to ring when it isnt.

Gali if your cell phone is on it will keep checking in to a cell tower. This is your phone checking in to let the phone system know where it can be reached. If it didn't do that the system wouldn't know where to call your phone...it doesn't know where you are all the time by magic. Does it make sense to you now?

Yes, thank you very much.  Now I know what its doin. 

I realize that this question was posted quite a while back..however I do have the answer for you. Your phone is a digital phone vs. an anologue phone. They way a digital phone works in comparison to an analogue phone is that rather than having a constant signal being put out by an anolgue phone, a digital phone sends the signal in spirts to communicate within the reach of its network towers. Everytime your cellphone is next to the computer monitor and it emits a signal, that is when you see it reflected on your screen in the form of static. It doesn't necessarily mean that someone is calling you, though it will also happen when someone is calling you.
