We will try it today and see if IFI has fixed our problem.
Again, I will keep it posted once we find out.

While cell phones do not operate on the same frequency as the modems, they are capable of some high signal levels that could cause local inteference which could cause the radio modems trouble. It is one of the reasons that wireless communication is not allowed at the playing field.
From section 3.14.3 Pit and Competition Safety
Two-way radios: Not allowed in the Pit or near the playing field since they may interfere with robot operation and cause accidents.
