Do you know cell phone jammers?- www.wirelessphonejammer.com
A cell phone jammer is an instrument used to prevent cellular phones from receiving signals from or transmitting signals to base stations. When used, the cell phone jammer effectively disables cellular phones. These devices can be used in practically any location, but are found primarily in places where a phone call would be particularly disruptive because silence is expected.
I am a fun of cell phone jammers, I bought the cell phone jammers from a cell phone jammer manufacturer--- Beijing Signal Knight --- www.wirelessphonejammer.com, I bought a pocket size cell phone jammer SK-16A and a medium power mobile phone jammer SK-3. They are very good, and help me to bolck the annoying phone calls in the Lib, Lab, meeting room, and hospital.
I think it will be very interesting if you have one.
