I do not own a cell phone and have no idea of the electronics behind them, so I thought I ask

This unit was posted here a while ago and I will buy it if it will work in certain cities, so the question are's .
1) will it work CR
2) will it work MDE
3) will it work POP/ DR
4) will it work Pattaya
5) will it disturb the room next to me if the walls are concrete or block
6) and for shits and giggles will work here??

Here are the tech. details


Cellock-brand time-proven build quality and reliability
- Creates enough interference to block all cell phone signals around you (GSM 930Mhz~960Mhz/CDMA 870Mhz~880Mhz/DCS 1805Mhz~1920Mhz)
- Fully metal construction - creates a solid and techie feel
- Creates a 0.5M ~ 15M (about 2 to 40 feet) radius of cell phone signal black out area
- Built-in 1500mAh battery lasts 3 to 4 hours, also works and charges on AC and Car 12V power with including adaptors

I'm not an expert by any means, but I think you need to look for one that blocks GSM 1800Mhz which is the band they use in CR.

I'd send a PM to Brother Steven1. He mentioned these here first I reckon, and knows all about these things. NOTE: They are verboten to possess or use in the US--some care please.

Both Orange and JazzboCR are correct. It must cover the 1800mhz freq. spectrum to work in Costa Rica (although Costa Rica's 3g and 4g networks...yes....they're there....not much talked about; bunch of "experimenting" going on..... MAY be covered by that device). These devices are NOT LEGAL in the USA. We all want to be legal, law abiding citizens, I know. We are all gentlemen and brothers. At least I know I am. I am a choir boy and break no laws. Ever. I am a model gentleman CRT'r, too; Posterboy type.....

Ok I am lost, this one says 1805- 1920mhz, and you say must be in 1800 range.. Just by the 5 off it would not work in CR ? or are you talking about a different type of 1800 current, would it just make the sort of not work unless close by? 5-10 ft-

Columbia 850 and 1900 so this would work there and DR. from the chart.

From looking a the chart it seems all numbers are rounded to even number, but then I looked at anther jammer that list for what it blocks
# - CDMA: 850-894MHz
# - GSM: 925-960MHz
# - DCS: 1805-1880MHz
# - PHS or CDMA1900: 1900-1930MHz or 1930-1980MHz
# - 3G: 2110-2170MHz
price on that 50 bucks ( sort of would like one I could use any where)

so if I am reading the numbers maybe half the of 1900 range. or does the letters in front of the numbers mean a lot??

Again this question is a purely academic question to only satisfy my intellectual nature and not meant for any illegal use

From Brother Steven1's Links (and hey thanks for stepping up. No joke.) I picked this tasty little number. What flashed on me is prices <$100 in 10+ lots...and plenty of room on the front for the CRT or other logo. Wasn't somebody just recently asking about viable import opportunities? Guaranteed 25+% sell-thru to the Brotherhood--what, you'd turn down a chance to cut off the li'l darlings stealthily for less than that Colombiana (or those 2 Dominican Sisters) at the KL would hourly cost you?

Ah....the pursuit of knowledge and science....indeed a most higher calling:

YES....the difference between 1800mhz and 1805mhz is HUGE. It is NOT "current"...it is the frequency of the trasnmit unit. It would be like trying to listen to a radio station you know is 1800 on the dial...but you got the dial set to 1805. Ya think you're going to hear anything from that radio if you've got the dial set to 1805? I do not believe you will hear the radio station you want; if there is a station on 1805, you'll hear that. Too, CDMA and aspects of TDMA are cellular technologies that have little use any more, for the most part (... TDMA
Before we can go any further though, I should note that there are actually three different flavors of TDMA in the PCS market. Each of these technologies implements TDMA in a slightly different way. The most complex implementation is, without a doubt, GSM. It overlays the basic TDMA principles with many innovations that reduce the potential problems inherent in the system. http://www.arcx.com/sites/cdmavstdma.htm ). (Focus on GSM to make it easier on yourself.) They ARE used throughout the globe and even in Costa Rica to an extent, by the masses, as I recall.....I forget. That oufit is selecting to muck around in at 1805mhz due to DCS technology (don't worry about it; it's boring for most; has to do with PRIVATE "cell phone" frequencies.....Yes some of us utilize our own PRIVATE, dedicated cell phone networks...globally....there is a LOT of stuff floating around the ether anymore....)..... Bluntly, the item being listed is a toy, really. However, it DOES work...but it is intended for crowded rooms or not so crowded rooms...not to go through VOBB (concrete blocks), steel, wood, etc. etc. It is essentially a hand held transmitter.....which is 1/2 of what a cell phone is: A cell phone is, essentially a transceiver. Disrupt an entire hotel structure? Not going to happen. Take out the open dining area? (head nodddinggggg....)

I understand the desire for one that will work anywhere....and with such a desire comes cost. Compromise...travel with 2 or 3 of the little darlings.....save money. Up to you. Hypothetically speaking, of course. The more powerful the transmitting the unit, the greater it's ability to penetrate "stuff"....and to travel distance. We are pretty much moving over to the laws of physics and that's just not something that can be discussed very well (let alone "taught") on an internet message board.

http://www.fuzing.com/vli/002456326263/ ... r-KPE8818- here is a one from a company I "play with". It will not do what you want, but you can read a little bit more in detail about what it can do and give you a better idea, maybe. Note: "....the manufacturing process strictly follows ISO9001 quality system....". ISO9001 is a good thing. It pretty much means there are international standards in play during the production process. "Widely used:
1. Conference room, autitoriums, law court, library, exam room, school, cinema, theater, and hospital, etc.
2. Oil Station, gas filled station, oil field, oil depot, etc.
3. At places where using mobile phone is prohibited such as government, military, finance, security, police and command center, etc."

You sure you want to play around with this stuff? We're all grown men and make our own decisions.

In the infamous words of Roberto "No Mas." I need to get back to dissecting this copier hard driveSSS I've acquired.....

I was just wanting to disrupt calls in my room and no more, did not want to bother any calls in the next room-will do some more reading

Email the outfit or call them on the phone (the one you've been wanting for $27.00) and see if they have a unit for GSM 1800. GSM frequencies are all you're interested in. GSM 1800 is the Costa Rica frequency.

GSM 850; GSM 1900; are the two frequncies in Columbia. Don't trouble yourself about anything other than GSM. You'll get confused.... http://www.techgsm.com/page/gsm-technol ... -umts.html is a primer.

PS: These "toys" WILL muck up the greatest part of the ground floor of the Del Rey (and they most certainly will "fix" your entire hotel room/suite/penthouse)........when it's packed with people....not quite as much....I hear tell it's funny as all get out when the "switch" is thrown....watching the look of "loss" on peoples' faces!!! I only saw that on a television show though......

Watching the chicas faces as you turn it on in HDR would be worth the cost for the entertainment value alone.

But seriously, do many guys have such problems with chicas on their cells in-session that they would resort to spending money on an illegal device? When she gets on her cell, you say session over, adios! Maybe she'll get the message, but nothing lost to you but a little time.

I saw THAT on a YouTube video. I have no clue who did the video. I think it's gone. Oh well.....back to the television and dese here photocopy machine hard drives........

I have the one the next step up for $50 and it only works on very few phones all analog and a few others weird and not a geek so have no idea I got it for the same reason here in the states.

I think but can't say for sure but a couple bills will get you something that works. Good luck!

LOL I would Love to never hear the word game used again ever again! :)

I bought several from DealExtreme, hoping to control distraction in a business I own.
They all work, poorly.
Usually I have to get within 3 feet of the cell phone to have any effect.
IMO they need more wattage than their batteries can provide..

It is cheaper to pay now and get it over with.
It is also easier to get them to leave.

BTW-you don't need a cell phone jammer with the chicas. Your wallet can be a pretty good cell phone jammer if used properly.
