Mobile Phone Detection in A/C

From Australia (the Nanny Country)
Last thursday I was flying from Albany to Perth with Skywest in a little Fokker 50.
As we taxied for T/O the flight attendant piped up and asked that everyone carrying a mobile re-check that theirs was definitely switched off as the aircraft's avionics were being affected.
Not bad. Relativley low tech. piece of kit, the F50, but I would love to know why I have never heard of this before and I fly down the back a hell of a lot.
