comment Can A Powered Down Cell Phone be Turned On Remotely?
@Rook, yeah if it's in the firmware from the manufacturer, it's not a root-kit, it's a feature! But the (hypothetical, I want you to think) rootkit I referred to in my question is an aftermarket add-on that can be surreptitiously installed by any of the usual malware methods, so the term would be accurate.

Accepted because you answered the question in the title, and it appears that no-one is willing to admit they know about such functionality being used in the real world =)
