Max,

Now that is pretty strange. What type of cell phone was it? See if the make 
and model type are the same between Don's cell phone and your friend's.

The fact that it stopped when you moved the active cell phone away, indicates 
to me that it was the cell's transmitter function rather than its receiver. 
This in turn means that the repeater station is probably not the cause
