An odd question. Especially when asked here.

Depends on the cell phone and the bands used. Could be more, could be
less.
It's also quite likely that digital cell phones (i.e. anything modern)
generally don't transmit and receive at the same time -- they'll
transmit for a few miliseconds, then receive for a few miliseconds,
etc.

45 MHz seperation at 1000 (or whatever) MHz is quite a lot, actually.
It's not like you'll require the big duplexers a 2 meter ham radio
repeater needs for the 600 KHz seperation.
