I keep my mobile in the same pocket as my Oyster and haven't had any
problems so I would say that the statement is a load of cobblers.

... maybe, maybe not...

But that's what the driver of a bus I was on today suggested when 2 or 3
oyster cards failed to be read.

I overheard the conversation...

DRIVER: "Have you had your card near any mobile phones or computers?"
PASSENGER: "Err, yes."
DRIVER: "That's what the problem is then - take it back to where you
bought
it from."


I don't buy the 'being near a computer' argument for one minute, but could
oyster card be damaged by mobile phones?
