Mobile phone jammers are electronic devices that block cell phone signals within a specific radius, preventing phones from receiving or transmitting signals. They were originally used in the defense sector but are now common in places like restaurants, hospitals and movie theaters to prevent disturbances. The jammer works by transmitting the same radio frequency as cell phones, interrupting the connection between phones and mobile towers. This makes the phones appear unreachable or out of range. While jammers vary in size and range, they provide a solution for maintaining privacy and reducing inconveniences caused by cell phone use in public spaces.
