Microwave as ad-hoc Faraday cage? (slrpnk.net)

Just occurred to me that the humble microwave should be a fairly effective Faraday cage, certainly for the microwave spectrum, anyone know how good it is for the relevant communication frequencies?

I've never had that problem, a few minutes ago I tried to make a call and put the phone in the microwave, the moment I closed the door it cut the call.

I'd be worried if I had a leaky microwave.
