Secret Service Shuts phones down HAPPENING NOW
Happening Now: 9:00 p.m. EST.

This evening in S. Florida, as hundreds of thousands of commuters were traveling home from work, going to diner and picking their children up from school, they found their 3G communications’ network shut down.

People calling from their phones got a message saying to try their call later, and callers to those with phones got the same message.


It's unknown how many people have been affected, but the scope of the area unable to communicate encompasses a population base of more than 600,000.

Some of the network has come back online; some of it has not as of 9:00 p.m. EST

The reason appears to be because of a low profile visit by Vice-President Joe Biden which the Secret Service believed needed an area wide shut down of communications to protect. This begs the question if there was some threat against the Vice-President that hasn’t been publically revealed.

cell phones are useless in an emergency unless your phone has priority ID. The computers are programmed to restrict comms to those phones when something of an "emergency" nature happens. Cell phone ID programming is interesting. Lots more in there than just your phone #

If VP Biden can't travel without interfering with hundreds of thousands of Americans ability, and right, to communicate with their families, during rush hour, no less, perhaps VP Biden should just stay in Washington, DC, all the time.

Well , ever since terrorist began using cell phones to detonate roadside bombs the Secret Service has been disabling cell phones within a 50 mile wide area whenever the President or the Vice President travel by road somewhere.

They've been doing it for a few years now.

Its part of the rather extensive precautions the Secret Service has been taking ever 9/11.

The biggest threat to Joe Biden is....Joe Biden. He is the dumbest man to ever wear a suit, and I'm surprised he hasn't fallen down a well. Actually, I'm 'surprised TPTB haven't silenced his stupidity yet.

 Quoting: Kirk




Kirk: YOU ARE SO RIGHT! The ID defines your "class of service" and you have a lower or "standard" class of service you ability to place a call can be pre-empted by anyone with a law enforcement classmarked phone. Within the various classes they are "priority" numbers or classes of service belonging to military and law enforcement and secret service, etc. These guys have (at the right level) the ability to 'seize" an in progress line or call and "bump" you off of the call and take the slot at the cell tower and then all thru the network. You will be talking to dead air or getting no signals all of a sudden. If you know how to "hack" your ID numbers changing a single digit from 1 or 2 to a 0 or 9 will make a huge difference in your service level. But the question is which of the digits out of the twenty or thirty digits long number is the "critical" one for that function??

I wish I knew for certain. Changing it is NOT a big deal.
