We belive our product to be the most sophisticated around allowing multiple detection of both phone signals and phone digital cameras. Our product also can scan the area to find the phone being illegally used. We have found our product to be highly effective in curbing the problems associated with cell phone misuse; the one thing a child doesnt want is for their phone to be taken away or to be disqualified from an exam. Our system works as an efficient deterrent with a campaign we have launched including classroom literature and posters. We are marketing our product for use in the USA also as cell phone jammers are illegal to use also in this territory. For further info please look at our website www.phonebuster.co.uk or get in touch with me at jweinstock@phonebuster.co.uk Regards Jonathan We are a UK based company who have developed a product to specifically tackle the problems of cell phones in the classroom, mobile cheating and cyber bullying.

Evidently, it's illegal in Britain to use them. I like the previous suggestions, too. Another report I saw said the British schools could not use a blocker.

(Or maybe students aren't embarrassed by that kind of thing any more?) At any rate - are these coming Stateside any time soon? Can we lobby to have them put into libraries and movie theaters?
