I would love to have a cell phone jammer. I wouldn’t even use it in the situation provided, but I’d use it to mess with my friends. Anyway, these aren’t even legal in the US, so I don’t think I’m getting one any time soon.

I’ll quote wiki, In the US: “Illegal to operate, manufacture, import, or offer for sale, including advertising with fines of up to $11,000 and imprisonment of up to one year.” source

Great!
Now when someone tries to call 911 they can be stopped from doing so. Every mugger needs one.

In spite, you can also use a jammer. You can take it to airport, cinema hall and anywhere you want. Nobody will be able to know it as it is like a mobile kind of device.
Law is there . But you can not live in this world if you are abiding every line of the law.

In case of emergencies, Police / Fire / EMS bands are NOT effected by jammers. Also, they do nothing to landlines of course, which worked great for years before cell phones were invented.

These can actually be very useful for classrooms or private meeting areas.

I don’t like people who read. Are there any e-book jammers?

They are not legal in the USA, so you buy them over the Internet from somewhere like the UK where they are legal. When you get a blocker, do not tell anyone about it.

I had one. I am in Health Care so I kept my blocker in the pocket of my uniform. When I was in an exam room and someone’s cell phone rang, I reached into my pocket and blocked the call. It would block calls of people in the waiting room.

New phone technology outwitted the blocker. I have learned to ignore cell phone conversations, so I do not have a blocker now.

Sherry,
Your unit was not outwitted, but likely you had one that did not cover the newer 3G bandwidth, which has gained popularity in most areas.
