Just seen this on the BBC website this morning. Looks like everything could get a whole lot better, or worse depending on how you think.

Guess Ellies 'anonymous' bluejacking days are over now

Hi all.
Mixed blessings when you Bluejack a Siemens S-55 !
1. The Good News:
You can send them ANYTHING!
And l mean anything!
I've had three in recent weeks and knew them all -so l could "forensically" examine their phones.
The first one though I wasn't sure who it was because his phone didn't beep or anything, and there was a group of 5 of us.
I sent all the usual texts (virus, yr as ugly as yr phone etc.) then for some reason decided to go for pictures.
I sent him nice ones & not so nice ones and even animated GIFs - like the dancing baby.
No rejections or anything.
Anyway, the others left and I asked him what kind of phone he was driving these days and he pulled out the S-55.
Then he notices a 'new item' icon on the screen and goes "what's this?"
He clicks... and open go the flood gates!
EVERYTHING IS IN THERE!
Next two times I'm showing them all about BT and OH - NO! .....
2. The BAD news!
Their phone is saying not only 'new data items' but asking if they want to store MY PHONE'S NAME!?!
I used my PC and it recognised its name too!
I've enjoyed the anonymity of Bluejacking to date, but if they're gunna find out who I am ( I really don't want to put non-descript names on my stuff and anyway my Tablet PC is a bit obvious)
So there you have it- you can send really nice stuff to a
Siemens S-55 ... completely without their permission; (they don't have to 'accept')
...but watch out!

is bluejacking free ???. There is no info anywhere that tells me !!
been searching for about an hour now !
is it ?? : )
Posted by Bonkers!
Saw the BBC website this morning, discovered bluejacking and then went to work at the office...
The office is open plan holds about 30 or 40 people and about 7 feet above is another identical office.
First off nothing happend and I thought my T68i was not up to the job.
Tried again and got to nokia phones and some with just odd names. Anyway, sent a few hello's to triangulate onto the target.
Next up - Isn't work crap?
then - Go home and rethink your life
- The force is near you
- Also might want to bin that flowery dress
By this time the womans head looked like it was on a gyroscope.
Then got a bit bored so went for a coffee.
Did manage to pester her into distraction for the rest of the afternoon though. Dunno why she didn't just turn it off....

hi everyone a few weeks ago i bought an n-gage and it is pretty crap, but it seems that nokia has smartend up and has made a new option to have the phone discoverable or hidden,so within a few years most nokia owners will probably have a new phone that was made this year and might have the phone on hidden most of the time or something ,
dammit!
Posted by jellyellie
@boyi
i've given ajack credit on my site. bluejackQ.com isn't about who came up with 'bluejacking' first... it's about the fact that i thought i could really make something out of bluejacking by creating the world's first website on it. you don't go to a mobile phone forum and see 'thank you sony ericsson and nokia and...' blah blah blah written on the homepage.

Today is a historical day for me. I've bluejacked the first time in my life.
We were coming home from school with the train, and me and two of my friends where bored. So we thaught, lets look for a BT device. I've T610 and my 2 friends T68i.
And their it was, an nokia 7650. We started sending a contact with the message "hello". a few seconds later we heard the message tone of the phone, looking around, and their he was, a man with the age of 55. he was sitting behind us, so he couldn't see us. the the other messages came, Buy SE, Fatal Error etc. every few seconds, their it was, the message tone. We where really having troubles breading, because we where laughing so hard. after a period, he didn't accepted the messages no more. The man wassing sitting their with his newspaper in his hand, and his phone in his other hand, pressing no.
the funny thing was, wenn you take the train, you get a free newspaper. and this moring, their was an article about getting bluejacked. http://www.freemetro.be/nl/20031106/public/pages/011/MNL-011-20031106.html
thats the link to the article. it's in dutch so the most ppl won't understand it.
So we arrived in our station, and a friend of my had his newspaper in his backpack. so we drawed a circle around the article. wenn we passed that man, i said: "Mister, it would be wise for you to read this article." the person looked up and began to read it. It was a shame we had to get of the train, because i would have paid to see the look upon his face!!
thanks to the person who inveted this!!!!
hope you like my story
greetzz and a lot of BJ fun!!

@Tha Flipkonijn
that's possibly one of the best 'endings' to a bluejack encounter i've ever read about. nice one
Posted by Bonkers!
2 questions:
First, any idea why my T68i logo doesn't appear under my name when I post?
Second, Any idea how I set my phone to be Bluetooth 'Discoverable'? I have turned the 'bluetooth' phone operation mode to ON and have the blue LED flashing but it isn't discoberable. It can only send. The only way I can set it to be discoverable (so I can be bluejacked by others...) is to set it to discoverable. However this only lasts for 3 minutes! Confusion rules.
Posted by jbendaou
the only way t get it be discoverable for more than 3 mins, is to get another SE phone, i would suggest the t610...
The t68i cannot be discoverable for more than 3 mins, so dont worry ur fone is fine!!!nothing wrong with it, it is just the way it was disigned

@ jbendaou, you can make your T68i's bluetooth to always on though,
Posted by Vlammetje
Vinnieza... you can leave it 'on' however you won't be 'discoverable' (meaning: vsisble to other
devices)

I find it hard to believe that. Mainly because the 7650 does not have a message tone for recieved contacts. It asks (silently) whether you would like to recieve a contact.
You cannot bluejack 7650's unless they have their phone in their face while you do it.
Posted by Tha Flipkonijn
That man was having his phone in his hand. And everytime we sent a contact, it was the the enhanced melody of the classis nokia tune for receiving messages, Tuut Tuut, Tuut Tuut.
Probably the man was thinhing he received a message, and accepted it. after 3 or 4 messages, he didn't accept them anymore.
this is how it was, i'm not gonna lie about it, trust me.

I've just been out bluejacking with jellyellie in surrey, uk...had a great day - what does everyone else think about it? (ps...is there a live chat on here?)
Posted by tarponfly
Okay, obviously bluejacking in the UK and Europe is pretty easy, but is there anyone that has successfully bluejacked in the US? It sucks, no one here knows about bluetooth, or any of that stuff, Hell, GSM is still pretty new. People flip out when they see my wife's t68i ( its old, but cutting edge here to most people) they really flip if I show them my T616. I have scanned at malls , electronics stores, etc to no avail, has anyone else had any luck here in the US?
Posted by jellyellie
@flashsara
hi! just sent you a PM
no live chat on here. that can be a good thing though because you always have answers in the archive to refer back to.

EVERYONE on here probably thinks that bluejacking is one of the best ways of having fun without taking your clothes off...
Its quite likely that someone may one day try to do a nude bluejack...
As for live bluejack related chat, it would be easy for someone with a bit of webspace to tag on something in java... know anyone?
BTW, how did your bluejaxpedition go?
Posted by jellyellie
@Joe Freakynuts
it was WICKED!!! had such a great day. i bluejacked this girl in a restaurant and her eyes literally popped out of her head when i sent her the name of the restaurant. she showed the waiter too when i sent 'mmm that looks nice' when her food arrived.

that's not nice, calling us "pests"
.
Edit: on all the news articals i've read about bluejackin' all of them say it's done by sending a contact they haven't mentioned that you could also take a pic of them and send it or sending notes.

Not nice no, but sadly I think we may be getting more flack soon.
There is, in the UK, a law called The Protection from Harrassment Act, 1997. Sooner or later some dimbulb is going to jack someone in a really bad way, get caught doing it or it be obvious it was them doing it, and the victim is going to take *real* offense to it. And then we possibly got abit of hassle, not to mention bad publicity.
The abovementioned act covers stalking and so on, and along with the Misuse of Telecommunications Act, 1987, is designed to prevent people from sending malicious electronic communications. SMS, email, phone calls and so on. A person only has to send a text, a mail, or do something else unnerving or unpleasant to someone twice (harrassment being defined under the act as something that causes distress or upset, or that the person doing it should know would cause distress or upset - ie. ignorance is no defence), and they can bee seen as commiting a civil offense and can be prosecuted under those acts. Court injunctions are the usual course of action (an official thing to say "You must not do this again") - and if you break one of those, you are in contempt of court which consitutes as a criminal offence, for which you can get up to five years in the slammer. Sounds extreme I know but that's how the acts work in worst case scenarios.
I expect sooner or later an extreme bluejack case is going to be made an example of under those acts. Afterall, it *is* open to abuse and it is an electronic communication. And those bods who haven't got the sense to turn their bt off have to be protected in some way don't they ? (note the heavy sarcasm).
The way I see it is, I wouldn't bluejack anyone with anything I wouldn't shout at them in the street. I see bluejacking as a technological way of saying "Alright mate ?" or "Nice coat / hat / whatever" as you pass on the street. I wouldn't send anything unpleasant (mainly because I'm not so inclined) but also because - well, I've read the above acts back to front (had to, had someone harrassing me by phone, mail, and in person earlier in the year) and I can see trouble on the horizon for bluejackers. Which is a right pain in the fundament cos I like bluejacking.
Play nice (or only send something that could be construed as "distressing or upsetting" no more than once to the same person) and cover your a~ses, people ! It would be a shame to see this fun thing go bad.
Thus ends the boring but necessary, I feel, warnings from Auntie Rachael
Posted by jellyellie
as with all new technology, there are bound to be some irresponsible people that abuse bluejacking. it happened with the internet; it happened with telephones; it happened with WAP, and it happened with SMS. you just have to make sure that you're one of the reponsible bluejackers.
Posted by vinnieza
does that mean anyone who has ever bluejacked, has broken the law?

It all depends on your interpretation of the law (or more importantly, the acts). Or maybe that should b, more important is the interpretation of the acts by of the person you jacked. In the same way as I don't get upset about people shouting "Nice t~ts !" or "Give us a smile, luv, it may never happen !" at me in the street (although technically at least one of those things could be prosecutable if you really wanted to take it that far), I wouldn't find being bluejacked randomly offensive (I turn my phone to discoverable sometimes in the hope of just that happening, but it hasn't as yet). But if someone were to target me specifically and try to deliberately upset me or freak the hell out of me, then I would feel differently. Just as the same as I would feel if they were giving me funny phonecalls or something similar.
As Ellie says - you just have to be responsible in how you use it. Bluetooth is somewhat different in the fact that you can hit anyone who is bt enabled without knowing anything about them (i.e. you don't need to know their phonenumber like you do with spam or abusive sms or calls, or their email address or their snail mail address) which could make it more open to random abuse. But who really gets their kicks from randomly abusing people ? Not many I'd hope.
The issue I see with it is if someone knows another person, is harrassing the hell out of them anyway, and uses bluejacking as another way to stalk them or give them grief. That sort of thing is what the law is there to try to prevent, not our random messages to those around us. As long as we're not horrible about what we send, I don't see that we should have a problem ourselves. Although it only take one eijit to do something unfriendly, be made an example of, and we get bad publicity.
So it's prolly best to just play nice to cover your a~se. And because its the nice thing to do.
Posted by djpowelly
I think he/she is just saying be sensible. Dont start sending messages to one person over and over again and don't send something too rude like 'nice t**s!' Some funny names (like 'Ben Dover') and 'Hi' is what ppl may use? Correct me if i speak c**p!
Posted by vinnieza
no i don't really ever say anything offensive, oh well today i had lots of phones to bluejack but i thought i was going to break the law so i only bluejacked 1
, it was a nokia 3610i (i think) and i sent a pidily (boring) your bluetooths on , oh well i herd the nokia tune du du du du duu duu du du du but i couldn't look as i was trying not to laugh that much even though it wasn't that bad 
. aw well just proves even though BlueJackin's over the news people still have bluetooth on, as i found loads about 10-30
