Where are you baws who have had the phone issues...?

quote:

A French dad desperate to block his kids from spending too much time on social media went off the rails when he unintentionally cut out the entire town of Messanges’ internet service
quote:

The unnamed papa faces up to six months in prison and a hefty fine for disconnecting the town’s internet access with a scrambler, which is illegal under French law.
quote:

The patriarch purchased the jammer to block connection to the web in his home between the hours of midnight and 3 a.m. when his children would be addictively scrolling social media, authorities said. Unbeknownst to him, though, the device blocked not only the access to the internet for his house but for the entire beach town of Messanges, in southwestern France.
quote:

Officials used a radiogoniometry device to detect the scrambler, which was blocking both Wi-Fi and mobile phone signals, at the dad’s home.

Why when I hear a French guy is using an internet jammer he is actually testing it out to use it later in a big diamond or art heist.

Step 1. Lock phone so when at home it can only get wifi.
Step 2. Kids piss you off shutdown wifi.
Step 3. Profit.

This has worked for me pretty well.
