Is Mobile Phone Jamming the New Bluejacking?

There seem to have been a flurry of people lately, claiming to jam mobile phones – for “fun”. Or maybe it’s a flurry of stories, which all seem to lead back to the New York Post one here.

You can buy one in the US for upwards of $250, which seems quite a lot of money to spend just to annoy people – or perhaps to stop people annoying you.

Having said that, the fine (in theory) is $11,000 for using one, which implies it’s a brave or a rich person’s game.

If you’re puzzled by the Bluejacking reference in the headline, you can read more here. More harmless fun for kids!
