microwave broke?

Is it true that if you put your mobile phone into a microwave and close the door, and then ring it and it rings you should throw the microwave out?

Yeah, I should imagine its true, would mean the faraday cage effect of the microwave compartment wasnt working, so in theory microwaves could leak out.

Don't think so. Microwaves in a microwave oven oscillate at 2.45Ghz, which is what they're intended to shield against. Mobile phone microwaves oscillate at lower frequencies than 2.45Ghz. GSM for example only uses the 900Mhz frequency, so I'm not sure a microwave would shield against a frequency that low?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.
