The main reasons why many governments are banning cell phone jammers are:

1. Property theft - Radio Spectrum allotted by the government for radiocommunication, should not be stolen.2. Safety hazards - All calls will be blocked if cell phone jammers are employed, including emergency calls.

ALTERNATIVE• Passive cell phone blocking

• Cell-phone alerters

• Other alternatives are micro-cells, handset disablers etc. Through SIM-blocking or IMEI blocking, cell phone communication can be blocked.
