Have you considered it is practically impossible for someone to spot someone using a jammer so my comment may not have been entirely serious?
Loath as I am to click a link to The Forger's Gazette, reading the article suggests that's just a coating on the windows. See through tin foil or similar, so not an active blocker switched on and off at the train operator's will.
It also apparently blocks data, which would tee me off.
As I say, strange parallel universe. My local hospital provides free wifi, so you could make calls even if mobile phones were blocked.
hand myself to whom? I don't think OfCom does arrests, and I do not believe my local police who took an hour to turn up to the scene of a casualty that had civilians directing traffic are interested in investigating the use of DECT phones without proper certifications.
A faraday cage is not a jammer and does not require a license. This link kind of disproves your suggestion that rail companies use jammers. Also, while I imagine it's possible to get a licence to say block signals on a military base or a company with a reasonable fear of industrial espionage I really doubt they would allow it to be put on a train which crosses the country often only being metres away from someone else's land. Imagine if the poor cafe by the station lost their mobile signal every time a train pulled in!
Why? There are 11 other carriages where you could use your phone. I am ok for the quiet carriage to be for people not using electronic devices. I just wish they would place them a fixed position along the train. Sometimes I am forced to get on (with a bike, so it's hard to move carriages) when I have no intention of being quiet
Voice of an armchair expert.As I say, strange parallel universe. My local hospital provides free wifi, so you could make calls even if mobile phones were blocked.
But the reason you weren't allowed to use a mobile in a hospital was because of a fear it might interfere with equipment. That's been disproved I think, but for handsets. However a device that sends out continuous signals across a broad spectrum of frequencies (aka a jammer) would be much more likely to interfere with equipment.
(yes, some hospitals charge exorbitant a amounts to call a patient, but I really doubt they are enforcing it with jammers)

I bought it for a purpose, and when it finished that purpose I took it home, as I needed a new phone.
I use it because I have it, it works fine and causes no problems.
And this from the man inciting people to interfere with mobile networks and strangers telephones because they are a bit annoying. Inciting a crime that carries a penalty of up to 2 years jail and unlimited fines.

The link you put up didn't have anything about active jammers, even though you claimed they are in use. Any evidence that they are would be useful.
Yes. One who knows the difference between passive and active signal blocking.
I haven't commit a crime.

Whether or not you have committed a crime is for the jury to determine after hearing all the evidence in your private prosecution of yourself.I haven't commit a crime.
(apparently the device is "liable to seizure", which is ok with me as I never use the land line anyway
