The other thing to keep in mind is besides the battery drain, the phone is putting out more power trying to find a signal, which could be bad for the body. I'm not 100% sold on cellphone dangers to the body, but it makes sense to take precautions to limit things like this which would cause the phone to spike in radio signal usage.
