A British electronics supplier has started selling a local range cell phone jammer that is designed to look like another cell phone. The jammer would however be illegal in most countries around the world, although strangely, the company only restricts UK residents from buying the device.
The company says that the jammer has an output power of about 20mW and an effective range of up to 10 - 15 meters radius in optimum conditions, depending on the type and location of cellular system.
Rather nefariously, the company is marketing the device for use in public areas, such as on trains or in restaurants.
