Such stories need to be examined carefully. A typical 
cellphone is liable to have about 500 mW input to it's 
transmitter and most of this would be unlikely to be coupled 
to a nearby egg.

1 2 3 or 4 G is almost certainly irrelevant. Raw power 
dissipation is liable to be the main issue here.

Dealing only with thermal issues, which is what is suggested 
here, the egg would need to be raised to say 80C or more. If 
ambient was 20C then delta T is 60 C so thermal loss from 
egg would need to be less than 120 C/W. I'm not going to 
start to try to work out the R value required but I'm 
certain that a half Watt source in the very centre of an egg 
would not raise it to anything vaguely approaching 60C above 
ambient.  10 Watts at the centre would certainly do severe 
damage to an egg but still not get it anywhere near that 
rise.
