used to commute on the train everyday
and got sick of people on the phone all the time so I bought a second hand phone jammer on eBay for £50 - peace and quiet on the train from then onwards.

I think I'm part-way towards recognising your genius.

Pretty sure this is illegal
Yep, yep you need to have a license. Highly doubt you'll ever be caught though.

I've been tempted to try and make my own.
Or rather, something which just broadcasts an annoying noise at the frequencies at which phones operate.

Better still would be if I could modulate a recorded message onto it, along the lines of
"Having extended mobile telephone conversations whilst on a train is annoying, inconsiderate to others and, most importantly, IF YOU DON'T STOP, THE TICKET INSPECTOR WILL BUM YOU."

I find it annoying
but precisely half as annoying as having to endure two people chatting inanely to each other in the carriage.

At least with a phone call you only have to listen to one spastic talking shit...

I get a train on Thursday nights and my friend gets the same train
I always worry that other people are getting fed up with listening to us chat. However, we do usually talk about depraved sexual acts (her) and tales of horrific embarrassment (me), so hopefully the people who don't have iPods are suitably entertained. Speaking of iPods, I'd rather listen to inane drivel on the train than someone playing their music so loud that you can't quite hear the music itself but you can hear tss tss tss tss tss

Playing music through phone speakers
On public transport should be punishable by death.
