Yep, they sure do, trust me. Good from 50 feet to 100 feet or more, depending on the power rating. Also at that high frequency, a car door or glass won't stop the signal. Looks like an older cell phone itself, with a nubby antenna and fits in a shirt pocket. People have no clue as to what happened. They get a "No Signal" until your out of range.

Heck no. Would just use a Jammer when its required. Its range is limited to a hundred feet or so, and that would never be picked up by a FCC Monitoring Station, and you would be gone by the time anyone got there if it was possible, which it isn't, since your not using a Tower. Your directly jamming the phone.

Some of them work by feeding the outgoing signal back on the incoming signal, so the person talking just hears their own voice. There's a signal, they just can't use the phone.

They should be banned from public transportation, and anyone caught driving and talking should pay a 1000 dollar fine on first offense, 5,000 and 6 months jail time for the second offense.
Even the ones who are simply minding their own business on their cell phone not being a nuisance to anyone?

Not supporting jammers, but absolutely those who think the rest of the world should accommodate their need for instant gratification in talking on the cell phone are in the wrong.

To the person above who used business as an excuse, I'm a real estate agent - they surgically install cell phones when we get our licenses! However, I don't find it necessary to conduct my clients' private business in public and foist it on others, and so far it has not damaged business whatsoever. I've found that, just like in the old days when cell phones were rare, those who do tend to be the ones who need to somehow "prove" to everyone else how important they are, when what they're really proving is what bad manners they have. Not good for business.

This is a funny story, I enjoyed it, and wish that guy would come my city and jam cell phones in restaurants and bars, and the movie theatre, and public streets. I am a private person, and do not speak on my cell phone around others in public. I don't share my business and don't want to hear yours.

Lol, I'm typically an introvert/private person as well, but get over yourself. Besides the movie theater, the ones you listed are public places.

If you expect complete silence, then just stay home.

I agree with someone else in this thread. It's basically pure cell phone bigotry.

I don't think its against the Law to have one. Its against the Law to sell one or use one. You would also have as good a chance of being struck by a meteor as catching some one using a phone Jammer.
