    I'm looking for a mobile phone that switches itself on automatically
    for example to check voicemail or texts. It would be extra useful if it
    could do this according to a schedule similar to how my home heating
    system operates according to a schedule by switching itself on in the
    evening and switching itself off at night.

    I also prefer this sometimes because I do not have the phone switched
    on yet would like to keep in touch every couple of hours (e.g. saves on
    having to charge it / "radiation" worries / not wanting to be
    constantly, rather than infrequently, disturbed in meetings etc).

    You can use timed profiles on a Nokia, some of the newer phones have
    flight mode or off line mode where they basically turn the phone line
    off preventing incoming and out going calls.

    Just set the timed profile to expire at a certain time, when the time
    expires your phone will revert to the previous profile.

    Forget the radiation ****, it is the biggest load of **** every dreamed of!

    My old Motorla T191 could do that. It came out in 2001...!

    Timed profiles sound interesting if limited. I think I might need to
    use a smarter phone like a Blackberry 7100 which allows for proper
    scheduling of wake up and turn off, sorry Nokia

    Switching to silent mode sounds good if it could be more automatic e.g.
    knows from my scheduler that I am in a meeting.
