The Cell Phone Jammer
We honestly do not know or care
how the thing works, but what it does is jam the local cellular
phone signals within a small area, usually within a range of
20-30 feet. We find it works best when you are located inside a
building versus outdoors.
Cell phone towers -- bless their
Nature-like beauty and grace -- have been popping up all over
the place, from serene lily ponds to beautiful backyards. This
means cell phone signals are constant and strong when you are
outside, so this little unit may not have the power to
immediately overcome them (though it usually does if not too far
from the target, which is what we'll occasionally call
them cell phone things and/or owners from this point on).
Target
Acquisition: Outdoors
Good Advice:
Die!
If you are sitting in your car at
a red light and the driver behind, in front, or next to you is
on a cell phone, turn the jammer on. Hold it up a bit so the
jamming signal passes through glass instead of the metal of your
vehicle (one is way more dense than the other and will block
your jammer's signal). You will see the target suddenly stop
talking, look at their cell phone, and wonder why they have no
signal at all. We at autothing usually cannot help but laugh at
this point, so if you also have a good sense of humor, every
trip in the car will be fun.
Target
Acquisition: Indoors
This is where the true fun begins.
Go into any building where people shop and we're pretty sure
you'll find someone who is on the verge of spontaneous
combustion thanks to their cell phone being too hot. Do them the
favor and end the conversation that "could not wait"; seriously,
we can all get in and out of stores, restaurants, theaters,
bars, and offices much faster if these folks would just realize
that they are so in the way. The cell jammer works best
indoors because
the walls of a building weaken the carrier strength of cell
phones. You on-the-other-hand now have the advantage and can
disconnect everyone near you almost immediately. We love when a
crowd of people at the auto show get disconnected altogether,
and you know what, they just dismiss this odd occurrence and
don't talk to each other... You would think they find it
suspicious, right? Nope!
Remember, the jammer keeps the
carrier signal from the target phone constantly scrambled. If
the target is near you in a restaurant or theater setting, you
won't be hearing any unique ring-tones that make certain cell
phone users so unbearably attractive, that they may become your
future spouse -- significant other at the very least.
Final How-To
and More Praise
If you want to buy this useful
little toy, go to
Global Gadget
and get one of your very own. The unit is a bit pricey and will
hit nearly $400 if you get a spare battery and car charger (or electric
charger), but what a gift this thing makes! Seriously, a husband
will take it everywhere and a wife will certainly bring it to
restaurants. College students will just abuse everyone with it
(right on!) and kids, well they'll start chewing on it, so don't
give it to them.
The unit has a fake cell phone
display and the rubber buttons (see pics below) are
non-functional. The unit has two tiny on and off buttons on the
left side -- when viewed from the front -- and an LED blinks
green when on and red when there is low power. For the money,
this is one of the neatest things we at autothing.com have ever
played with and it gets more useful everyday, because there's
always someone out there who requires a fancy Motorola
Razr phone that you can make useless in just a few sweet
seconds!
