1. What is a cell phone signal jammer?

A cell phone signal jammer is a device that prevents cell phone signal jamming tower interference when receiving signals with a cell phone. They were developed for use by the military and law enforcement to counter threats such as explosions and violence caused by cell phones.

2. How does it work?

It blocks radio frequencies in a specific area, causing signal traffic jams that block all communications. Just like the radio silence bubble, the user cannot send or receive calls or texts as long as it is within range of the cell phone signal interceptor.

3. So why use a mobile phone signal jammer?

Proponents of the technology argue that signal-jamming devices are necessary when people fail to adhere to widely accepted correct cell phone etiquette. Think about it, school, theater, transportation, or other quiet trains, almost any conversation, texting, streaming, etc. can be considered disruptive or even dangerous.

Remember, cell phone signal jammers will not only block sounds and text on your phone, but they will also interfere with GPS, radar and police radar, which may cause more serious problems. Because of this, the federal government bans the sale, promotion, and use of cell phone signal jammers in the United States. So, if you want some peace and quiet with your shiny new signal blocking, you might just have to settle for earbuds.

4. Will it block the mobile signal booster?

Unfortunately, cell phone jammers can interfere with your mobile signal booster. Signal boosters work by amplifying an existing signal, but if the signal is blocked, the signal strength doesn't matter and a signal jammer will cause interference.

5. Can signal interference be prevented?

While cell phone signal boosters are an excellent tool for boosting reception in rural areas, on highways, or over construction materials, they are not effective against cell phone signal interference. Any signal jammer is now a signal booster signal blocker.

6. How to detect interference signals?

You guessed it, the most common symptom of cell phone signal interference is service interruption. While some apps claim to be able to detect interference signals, these are mostly unproven and require a working signal to function. Without advanced military technology, mobile phone interference is almost impossible for ordinary users to clearly detect.

7. How to prevent noise signal interference?

Blocking a signal jammer is not the way to go unless you can actually find the jammer itself (usually looks like a walkie-talkie, mobile phone, or wireless phone) and disable it.

Assuming you're tech-savvy enough to switch the frequency your phone operates on, you can avoid using jammers, too. But it does rely on jammers to block complex signals.

When you suspect you may be the victim of a cell phone jamming attack, walk away. Cell phone signal jammers generally have a range of no more than 30 square feet, so moving far away from your current location is usually enough to evade it.
