Talk:Mobile phone jammer

message: Is there anyway around cell phone jammers? 
:Thats what everyone really wants to know. It should really be on this page.
::There are ways to get passed a cellphone jammer. As mentioned in Burn Notice if you extend your attena "Make one out of a wire" then you can beat the cellphone jammer with a better connection. Isnt exactly the most mobile but it will work.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.243.127.215 (talk) 21:27, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm unsure of how this can be made, but in the search box typing 'mobile phone jammer' doesn't appear to work in linking to this article. Perhaps some re-directions of the search tool can be made, with other words leading to this page, but if that's not the correct terminology, disregard this subject. I have no idea in how this is done. Thanks, Aeryck89 16:25, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Naming of article and further search queries 

message: Part 15 of the FCC rules state that electronic devices must "must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation." Does this mean that jam-proof cell phones are illegal? --Ixfd64 05:27, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not really possible to build "jam-proof" cellphones, unless they broadcasted with a huge amount of power (enough to melt your brain, probably), since the principle behind jamming is that it creates so much bogus traffic that the real signal is lost in the noise. I suppose it could be possible to create a phone that can switch frequencies, but that would require huge modifications to the cellular infrastructure. Sloverlord 23:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The only way to make a cell phone jam proof would be to change cellular technology to multi-band and frequency hop the signal. Even then, it's possible to increase the frequencies jammed to overcome frequency hopping. In short, at the end of the day, NOTHING is jam proof.Wzrd1 (talk) 19:15, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  legality of jam-proof cell phones in the United States 

message: The article states that cell phone jammers are illegal to own, import, and use in the United States. However, in the intro paragraph, it states that they are commonly used in places such as hospitals, libraries, places of worship, etc. Can someone clarify this?

replies: text: In the article itself, it stated clearly that a waiver from the FCC is required to possess and operate a jammer. Whoever added that, thanks for clearing up confusion!Wzrd1 (talk) 19:17, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible Contradiction? 

message: According to a current episode of Ted Koppel on the Discovery Channel, cell phones in prison are common contraband, used to tip off inmates to drug searches or communicate with the outside.  Why aren't the cell phone calls jammed or intercepted effectively? 70.15.116.59 02:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Because its not exactly a popular product. I would wager that the majority of people would have no idea these things exist, which makes us the smart ones ;).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.51.103.64 (talk) 08:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Prisons aren't small places, so they would require planning and multiple units/antennae, PLUS a waiver from the FCC, PLUS the equipment costs and the costs of planning by an RF engineer.Wzrd1 (talk) 19:19, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

message: There is no link to any source that says about the legality of cell phone jammers in India(though there seems to be one at first sight). Can anyone please update?

message: The following claim is missing references: "[They] Can be used under strict authorization in exceptional cases...".
There are no mentions of that in the two articles linked and I could not find anything elsewhere. Faaustoo (talk) 15:04, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
