Many hospitals will jam cellphones, as it can affect telemetry in use.... Less common now, but was pretty much SOP 5-10 years ago
insane. i hope there is never a school shooting there.

Actually they jam texting and data but phone calls can be made.

Funny most of the people selling this stuff blatantly lie about the legality

Not funny at all!
They’re selling illegal items and they know it. They’re basically criminals selling guns without license. So there’s no point in using half truths.
Like the phone calls I got every few days, they’re con artist (actually they’re only working for the con artist). I even ask them if they know what they’re doing are illegal, they answer without hesitation it’s perfectly legal!

Yeah, no longer the case. I can't think of a single time in the past five years that I've had conversations with hospital IT regarding telemetry frequency and cell phone interference. Most telemetry manufacturers these days use proprietary networks that aren't affected by cell phones or other WiFi devices.

Enjoying the anti-cell phone banter in this thread. I love 'em for about 30 mins per day. Hate 'em the other 23.5 hours.:flag:

Really? Your comparing selling a cell phone jammer to an illegal firearm? An item that basically stops Millennial's and addicted middle aged women from obsessively looking at their phone to a weapon type that kills 1000's of people a year. Me thinks you are in that first group I mentioned. ;-)

Fun fact, about 1/3 as many people die each year from distracted cell phone driving as homicides by gun.
Also brain tumors have gone up drastically in the last couple decades, more often than not it's on the side people hold their cell phone. Don't have numbers but it's a real thing.
(1) In France, Coureau et al. (2014) found a two and a half-fold greater risk of meningioma for heavy cell phone users (defined as 896 or more hours of lifetime use) (OR = 2.57; 95% CI = 1.02 to 6.44).
(2) In Australia, Canada, France, Israel and New Zealand, Cardis et al. (2011) found a two-fold greater risk of meningioma for heavy cell phone users (defined as 3,124 or more hours of lifetime use) (OR = 2.01; 95% CI = 1.03 to 2.93).
Brain tumors have now surpassed leukemia as #1 cause of childhood cancer deaths.

It's illegal!
What more do I need to say? And you're justifying it as "less illegal" than another serious illegal act?
Yes, you're the the 2nd group I didn't mentioned.

On the plus side, nobody under 30 makes or takes phone calls anymore, so those numbers should get better pretty quickly.

With 5G and the "internet of things" ie your toilet having wifi connected to your washing machine... I doubt it

When I saw them putting television screens on refrigerators, I knew we'd reached the point of technology just for the sake of technology.

I bet a lot of people say that when cameras first appear on cell phones too!
