I suspect that the phone may handle this a bit like a mail server - try hard for a while, then decrease the frequency of connection attempts to preserve battery. So the net effect may be quite subtle.

I admire your optimism, expecting cellphone vendors to have heard of exponential backoff. Personally I would expect the base system to have it, and then for all the telcos to turn it off in their branded versions so that the phone is "more responsive"... * * * Since nobody has suggested it before -- why don't you just remove the battery, so that the device is unpowered? Most RF equipment is effectively unreachable without a power source.
