Where do work? It seems a bit of a bizarre thing to do on the part of your employer.

You best bet to get around it is probably a lawsuit, but there's no legal precedent for something like this, so you could just end up costing yourself a lot of money.

work in a medical device company in new ross co. wexford,
not having a phone on me when i'm working nights is a killer, :mad:

as for a lawsuit it totally legal

from my previous knowledge of working with one of the large mobile Telcos. This device is illegal. A licence is required from comreg to run such a device as it is essentially broadcasting a blanketing signal on a regulated frequency.

Refer to some telecommunications act of 198x for details

is it a jammer ? or is it an interceptor ?

Jammers are illegal, interceptors are not http://www.comreg.ie/_fileupload/publications/PR031104.pdf

as for ways around it, maybe skype and a bit of the awl intermnet wireless..

The Savoy Cinema in Dublin got a huge fine when they installed on a few years ago....

hi again no its not a blocker, its an american device, when your phone recieves a text or phone call , an alarm sounds followed by a voice telling you to turn of your phone :mad: as long as the signal on your phone doesnt change or you dont make or receive calls or texts it doesnt sound the alarm, we have wireless computers sending and receiving info and they dont set of the buster,

Jesus, that's fairly extreme on the part of your boss. Sounds like skype is the way to go then with the wifi n all.

The wireless network that your computers use will be operating on a different set of frequencies to what your phone operates at this is probably why they do not set off this alarm.

Is there some reason your employer wants to prevent the use of mobile phones while you're working?

there's no reason really there an american company and when the managers go on there little jaunts to the states they come back with there heads full of these great ideas, mite look into skype next time i'm in town,

if you ever had a mobile phone ring near a CRT monitor you can see the way it distorts the screen, so easy enough to detect when your phone contacts the base station, phones use up to 100 times as much power as wifi and at different frequencies.

check your terms and conditions of employment , it may be a disciplinary offence to use it at work, IIRC mobiles are banned for baggage handlers at Heathrow airport in London as they used to keep sketch for each other when riffiling bags
