Anonymous Coward User ID: 806125 United States 10/29/2009 10:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Happening Now: 9:00 p.m. EST. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 802725This 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. PWNED |

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 # Government is a body largely ungoverned. |

Lastcall User ID: 806143 United States 10/29/2009 10:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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 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 # Quoting: KirkKirk: 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. |
