Whats the best way to make a cell phone stop working, without anyone knowing that you did it?

Replace the battery with a dead one.

How do they respond to strong magnets?

Piss on it.

Piss on it.

From washing bedpans of invalid relatives, let me tell you piss is not a covert chemical :p

Must be all the curry.

By the way, I've recently discovered that whatever the chemical in Bacos is that gives it its taste/smell, it passes unchanged through your body and gives you Baco-smelling pee.

/clueless :confused:

Take out the sim.. or break it.. ;)

Edit: Hmm technically the cell phone still works :scratching:
But it can't be used until the sim is replaced.

only works in asia and europe. I live in the states(arkansas)

i need to find some schematics on how to make one.

1) Take the battery out.

2) Get an extension cord.

3) Cut the female socket off so you can still plug it into the wall.

4) Pull apart about 2" of the pair of wires.

5) Strip about 1/4" to 1/2" of insulation off of each wire.

6) Unwind and remove all but one strand of wire from each exposed end.

7) Put on a pair of safety glasses.

8) Make sure the ends are seperated and plug the cord into a live wall socket.

9) Carefully touch the single strands to the battery connection terminals on the phone itself.

10) Wipe off any black residue.

11) Replace the battery.

The reason for stripping down to one strand is to minimize the current flow such that the strands will be vaporized, leaving minimal residue and melting.

Merry xmas!

...Put it in the microwave for 3 seconds.


Edit: I smell an insurance fraud or a breach of warranty TOS.

why???:confused:

dip it in water and turn it on while the inside is wet. then let it sit and dry under the sun for a day or two.

I like my way better. It's much more convoluted and dangerous. :p

That's a novel use for a 'fool killer'. I like it! :)

Do you get a percentage of sales ? Product placement should be banned on here.If you persist I'll advertise my genuine souvenirs of Ireland, handcrafted in China

Heh...

Heh...

Haven't you ever heard them called that? That's what us etechs call an cord with an ac plug on one end and alligator clips (or just bared ends) on the other. Very handy, always have a few around. The origin of the name is fairly obvious. ;)

Yeah. That was a sort of laughing "Heh".

We always called them "suicide plugs".

Suicide plug is good too. :) Hadn't heard that one.

Nice to have around though. Need to have some way to get past all that osha and ul mandated safety interlock crap or you never get anything done. ;)

The absolute best way hasn't even been mentioned yet. It's SO easy to do, no one will ever know you did it and you don't have to touch - or even see - the phone.

Call the service supplier and tell them to cancel the contract.

Boom! Phone goes dead.

And end up talkingto people who won't take no for an answer

Switch it off.

but if he wants it off without it known why its off, I doubt it his phone he's talking about. I think he wants someone else's phone to not work.

Absolutely!

Use a cell phone jammer.

Cell Phone Jammer is an instrument to prevent cellular phone from receiving and transmitting the mobile signals to the base station. Mobile Cell Phone Jammer can block all kinds of mobile phone's ringing sound at all places such as church, mosque, library, movie theater and meeting room. You just buy it and just attach it at some place. And you will never hear the bell sound of mobile phone any more

Just a wee bit of overkill, don't you think - since it appears to be just a single phone he's concerned about? :D

Besides, it's highly doubtful the target will always stay just in range of the jammer and it will also be affecting other non-targeted phones as well.

All i care about is that the phone doesnt work when its at least around me. From what I have read about the jammers they only work in asia and europe. I live in the states. However I'm not quite sure why they would only work there, a signal is a signal, right?

Whats the best way to make a cell phone stop working, without anyone knowing that you did it?Isn't this a lot like asking what's the best way to make Windows crash? Why bother, it's going to happen soon enough. My cell phone dies about every fourth time I try to use it. I have to take the battery out and reinstall it. It took a ten-minute wait on the help line to be told that high-tech trick. She told me she just wanted me to read what was written under the battery, but then when she said to just put it back I said, "You're rebooting the computer in it, aren't you?"By the way, I've recently discovered that whatever the chemical in Bacos is that gives it its taste/smell, it passes unchanged through your body and gives you Baco-smelling pee.There are other substances that can do that. It happens to me with coffee.

Don't artificial bacon bits have exactly the same percentage of natural ingredients as a Twinkie? That's a whole lot of chemicals in there. I wonder what they're doing to your brain!
