Mobile phone signal remover????

turkolina

Is there such a piece of equipment that doesn't let you receive mobile phone signals in a specific area?

My best friend is having hell on with her son whose friends who are rather odd to say the least phone night and day...

She was just wondering if there is such a gadget..

Personally never heard of it but im sure someone would know the answer here??

Thanks...

Not as far as I know; and if there were, it would be a real money-maker. Something to :think: about (Dragon's Den beckons

Yes, such devices can be obtained by importing them from other countries.

I believe it is not legal to sell or use them in the UK.

Just remember that if you use such a device, it's effects permeate a lot further than the walls of the house. If people complain they can't use their phone in an area, the mobile networks investigate and find out your friend is using a jammer, she will find herself in court.

I suppose it is too simplistic to suggest that he changes his phone number, or turns it off when he doesn't want to receive their calls?

A few folk have suggested that it would be illegal to use such a 'jamming' device and they are quite right. It most certainly is illegal.

You need a licence to transmit on most frequencies and mobile operators pay huge amounts of money for their licences. All a 'jamming' device is is a transmitter that transmits noise to drown out the mobile network signals.

They do exist and are normally used where gangs of youths congregate, especially after someone complains that a 'Mosquito' is cruel on the little darlings. The idea is that if they cant get a signal to 'txt there m8' sat next to them they'll move on to where they can get a signal.
