As you like so much BlueJacking stories,I'll tell you mine.I don't know if it's bluejacking,but you'll say.BTW in Bulgaria there are no very much places for BlueJacking.The chance to see somebody with swithed on BT is insignificant.So yesterday I was in 'Hilton' to a business appointment and about the half of the appointment it became boring,I hasn't what to do and I remembered the bluejacking stories from this post,and I decided to make a BT discovery with my FS Pocket Loox.I knew that most of the interlocutors have BT phones.And for my luck one 6310i has its BT turned on.Then I quickly made a new internet connection with BT modem 6310i.Then I log on and went to some sites for pay downloads.I click on pay by phone and I've downloaded many cool things for my PDA and T610.I spent about 1 hour in the net,but at one time I went sorry for that and I disconnected.That was my first BlueJacQ.It was very cool.I'd like to know the countenance of his face when he recieve his bill.

i have bluejacked a nokia 7650 and then a found out it was my mates
Posted by Abby
As I was in town this morning, I thought I'd do a bit of bluejacking.
I'm not sure if I've succeeded or not. At various places in town, particulary in the vicinity of a mobile phone shop, I sent my contact but there were no devices to be found
It wasn't until I was outside the Vodafone store that I saw a single T610 listed. Yipee! I thought. So, I sent off my contact: "Greetings from *Heaven*" and looked around with my eyes and ears open. I heard nothing but I did see a middle aged couple huddled over a phone; the woman shrugged. They didn't seem particularly perturbed. They moved so I followed, convinced they were my target. I tried to send them another message saying "Nice Phone" as it was a fellow Sony Ericsson handset. My phone indicated the connection had failed.
I couldn't follow them for too long as it was heavily raining and I was trying to bluejack whilst pushing my son in his wheelchair - not an easy task! So, I went back to my place outside Vodafone where I'd agreed to meet my husband and youngest son as we'd deliberately separated to do our own shopping.
While I was waiting, I thought I'd try another bluejack and the T610 was still on my screen. I concluded that I'd made a mistake assuming the couple to be my target. I reasoned that the T610 must be in the Vodafone shop. So I tried to send a message... I actually sent many but each time it my phone would say, "Connection Failed". I couldn't figure out why.
I'm wondering now if phones that were in range are still listed? If so, when does the image disappear?
I'm at home now - obviously as I'm typing this post - and because I live on a main road, which, during rush hour has long queues outside my house, I try a bluejack during those times. That T610 is still listed on my handset and my phone still says "Connection Failed" when I've tried to send a contact. If anyone has any idea why this happens, please let me know.
You know what I'm thinking now though? That I did successfully bluejack that couple with the T610. What do you think?
Thanks for reading.

With all respect but how could you just use that 6310i as a modem without 'pairing' with it and without knowing the 'passkey'. I assume he has to key in the pass key to pair the two devices.

In all my local phone shops they hav n-gage on demo and when ppl are playin the games on them me and my friends like 2 send them random msgs thru bluetooth sayin \"n-gage is crap\" \"buy the sony ericsson\" etc. Lol.

Heads up mates... Looks like some folks are planning a type of bluejacking even more nefarious than our "just for laughs" ideal:

Hey, they might even have the tool already to do it (sman)
The authors email address is at the bottom of the page, might as well let him know what you think, good or bad?

Haha. Bluespam! It is possible bt probably wudnt happen.

Try hanging round some companys HQ, ya know,where all the BIG managers hang out! Ya bound to get a connection there. Off to Warrington, UK on Monday, so I'll try and hae me some fun!!!!!!
Posted by "Hacker"
I have paired my phone and PDA many times with this person,he is my colleague.And it doesn't want a passkey again.Most of the people have their passkey.
Posted by acydburn
Here's another idea, create a group in your phone (EG Brick user messages!) Then create a load of different contacts with different offensive names! Sure it takes up memory but it saves so much time!

Yea!!!That's very good idea.I haven't think of it.

This is more specifically targeted at the US/North America crowd:
there IS hope for us.
Today I was in the mall by myself doing some winter clothing shopping (although now that I think of it, yesterday would have been a good day to camp out for some bluejacking-- biggest shopping day of the year!). Anyway, with no companion to talk to whilst walking around, I was constantly doing bluetooth scans from my T610...
I have a contact called *Hey, YOU SUCK!* email: you.have.been.BLUEJACKED
Up arrow, More, 4, 3...scanning.
Non-stop I kept scanning and scanning, hoping something would pick up. Then I got on an escalator, set up another scan and put my phone down to my side [to smile at some pretty girls passing by the other direction giving me the eye
] So I get to the top, and I walk 10 ft and realize to look at my display again. BINGO! Some unk. device showed up and I tried to send but it was too late
I missed my first catch!
So then I later made my way to the food court, stood on the outer edges of where all the people sit to eat, and did a scan. 3 devices showed up! The first one showed up as a Nokia hehe! I think the model was 3650 [I know it had a 3 in it, I had to look at the nokia site of bluetooth phones to make me remember], and I sent it! Unfortunately there were tons of people and I couldnt see who it was with the phone, and by the time I got back in to send off another, the other phones were no longer listing
I stood still and tried for a good 5 minutes...
then I was walking by the Software Etc. store and went inside to just look around. I saw a display for the crappy Ngage, but seconds before set out a bluetooth scan and selected some weird mystery device whos name wasnt showing. I looked at one of the 2 ngages on display... "Accept message from Matthew T610?" heh, I selected yes, "Hey, YOU SUCK!"
hah, classic. Then I changed the BT device names on both Ngages to Ngage sucks and Nokia sucks, and as some kid walked up to the other Ngage I left the store and sent off another contact to the phone the kid was using.
Excellent!
but this is a glimmer of hope in an otherwise pessimistic American's eyes... we have a chance guys! Try the food courts in the mall!
But surprisingly, at the beginning of Oct. I was at Hartsfield Intl. Airport here in Atlanta GA with my T68i and I didnt find a single bluetooth device. I was hoping some fancypants businessman would have a nice Bluetooth phone.
I even scanned from my iPaq 3970 Pocket PC, nada.
What a damn shame, a 17-year old having nicer, more expensive toys than every person in an international airport...

You'll find thats what a lot of people already do- including myself. And by brick, do you mean the p800? Because its certainly bigger than the 7650!!
@matthewf01:
Well arent you a Nokia hater! Idiot....
Yet, if you put a
logo on those Nokia phones, you SE fans would love them!! Unbelievable.

anyhoo back on subject , ive been reading this forum for ages now and thought i'd try bluejacking with a touch of flair . I was in starbucks cafe waiting to pay for my caffein fix when i spotted some dandy in a suit dicking around with his 7650 facing me , i managed to take a photo of him without being noticed , i then paid for my drinkl and sat down nearby . One scan later and i had his phone on my radar , having duly renamed my t610 "club nokia" i sent him the picture and he got it first time . The result was hilarious he was looking in all directions until he worked out that the photo was taken from the counter then he started hassling the staff behind the counter about it so i sent him another message "step away from the counter and put your hands in the air " he just freaked and read it out aloud for all to hear , he was getting so agitated that the starbucks staff radioed for security so i sent him one last message "we are coming for you " then left the place quick smart . i think i made it about 2 metres before cracking up in laughter

@Ellie
Hey you.
Yeah I recognise you.
You're a lil celebrity in your own right... how can I not
PS : Can I have your autograph
@Anish
No it wasn't Ellie I jacked, I have posted this same story at bluejackq.com.
@Abby
Glad you liked the story.
As for your phantom T610 that appears. I assume you have a Z600. It operates amost identically to the T610 that I have. When you succesfully send someone something it does get stuck at the top of the list.
Now if you go to CONNECTIVITY > BLUETOOTH >> MY DEVICES it isn't listed there.
If you go to send a contact then the last person you sent to is always listed there. So your best bet is to ignore the top T610 and wait till its finished searching to see if it displays anything else.
Once you BJ another phone it will be replaced by that phone.
I still have an "Unknown" on there from the Weekend... but thats another story (that I'll have to paste from bluejackq.com
)

Heya ppl i dnt mean to be nasty bt jelly ellies site seems to me to be taking the credit for ajacks creation.which i dont thnks right.its like if u thot of an amazing idea bt sum1 has stolen the credit from u and made it theres.and 4 confirmation theres a bluejacking site made by an american which was startd on the 8th of jan 03.was this the first?when was ellies opend
Posted by jonc74
i dont think it really matters now anyway . The idea has grown far beyond the scope of one person
Posted by Bluejackers
I agree - all of the Bluejacking sites give credit to Ajack for finding it and telling the world about it and none of us with sites claim to be the best or even the first - that would be big headed and naive.
We simply want to build sites that promote it and as far as I can see none of us make any money from it - even the google ads on mine don't cover the hosting and registration costs let alone the time taken to manage them - it's a labour of love.

@all:
Really appreciate the fact that you guys remember me.
However, the most important thing after you credit me for figuring out this bluejacking thingy is to point people to this thread that started it all.
Peace!
Posted by Tha Flipkonijn
OMFG @ Elli,
you didn't only took the credit for being the inventor of bluejacking, now you are trying to make money with it.
Selling T-shirts and sweaters on your site.
Sorry to say this, but HOW LOW CAN YOU GO!!!
That's my opinion
Posted by Prosody
Or maybe Ellie's satisfying a demand... I'd love one of those BlueJacking Hoodies. Will get one when funds steady up.

I was walking through the local shopping centre when I came across a Nokia Ngage (Tony Hawk) Competition. There were 6 Nokia staffers with NGArbaGE, getting people to play the Tony Hawk game. I thought to myself we can't have this going on. So I decided to lurk in a nearby store and got my Sman working on the P800 with the following message 'NOKIA NGAGE SUCKS'. The looks on the demostrators faces every time the phone asked if they wanted to accept 'NOKIA NGAGE SUCKS' was priceless. In just 5 minutes I got 23 Bluejacks.
I believe I have done my bit for society today.

It is not a statement about whether N-Gage Sucks or not rather the opportunity to confuse and baffle the users and demonstrators by Bluejacking them.
But my personal opinion of the N-Gage is its toylike and looks pretty ridiculous when used as a phone.
Overall not what I want in a phone.
Cheers

Posted by Fritz24
Is this not going off topic? I thought the thread was about bluejacking, not the merits/shortfalls of the N-Gage.
Sort it out people.
Posted by blue_man
I know this might be silly to some but any explanations as to why when I treid to bluejack nokias (which my phone discovered) always end up with failed connections?
Posted by superslicknic
Here's one for you all.
Was down my local pub watching Scotland play Holland a few weeks back. Did a quick scan in the pub and found a phone. Changed my phone name to Panasonic i.e The TV in the Pub.
When Scotland scored i sent the message as SCO 1 - HOL 0
Little did i know it was the guy sitting down the front near the screen, very awkward look came across his face, he then proceeded back to the bar to ask if the tv could send messages.
Was very funny when the landlord replyed 'Dont be ridiculous'
LOL

@all:
Wow! didn't expect this thread to reach 100 pages when I wrote the bluejacking thingy about a year ago.
Anyway, I've updated my site with some bluejacking info for your amusement.
I encourage you guys to read the ITweb article (link on my blejacking page) since it shows a well balanced story and proves that bluejacking is fun and yet tells all worried parties that it's a harmless thingy and of no major security concern.
Of coz, SMan is the first bluejacking software every produced.
I'm saying this since everyone is raving about the first dedicated bluejacking site...
Ohhh! I'm the first blejacker as well... hah!
Posted by badrat_rachael
Ajack, I agree that sites promoting or concerning bluejacking should point people to this thread so they know where and who it came from (I do that very thing in my yahoo group).
I tried out sman for the first time this weekend (got me a P900 last week) and I find the automatic bluejacking thing very interesting though I get a lot of obex put errors. I guess that's cos I set it going when I'm walking around and go out of range alot.
Thanks for sharing the original "bank job" with us - it started something big and certainly opened up a new sub-culture and community around the world !

Who's been the closest to their vic, i was sitting next to mine on a train. She was well suspcious of me.
I tried bluejacking one of the n-gages at a store but i think i was caught on CCTV so i had to sneak back in and delete my message.

**Reposted from bluejackq.com for those who get a sense of Deja-Vu. i'm bored and its late.**
I've been to Nottingham a few times lately and so far I have blue jacked :
T610, yeah another one... this time it was a business man.
He was walking in front of me and I thought to myself... "He has to have a decent phone." so I did a crafty scan and made sure to walk behind him. Sure enough a T610 appeared and I whisked my "Nice phone" note to him. He took out his phone and recieved it as he stepped into a lift and I just breezedon by smirking.
Two seperate 6310i's... 6510i's (???) just sent them contacts... was stood at this big crosswalk which is a gold mine for Blue Jacking... never saw their faces though.
And I got somebody playing on a display model N-Gage in TOMO. There were a few people who had named their mobiles after themselves in TOMO but I assumed they were sales staff and so was too frightened of blue jacking them
I am starting to find myself scanning for phones whenever I am on a buss or in a pub or just waiting for someone.
Posted by jonc74
i know what you mean
its almost an instinct with me now
Posted by ajack
me too... when I step into a crowded place, I'll switch the bluejacking module in SMan and put my P800 in my pocket. Everytime my phone vibrates, I look around for a confused person or half expect some phone nearby to go beep!
Posted by tranquil
Mate, you rock!
BJ has become such an issue all over the place.
I was in a pub the other day and was going to have a bit of fun but the T610 owner just nodded and smiled at me when I BJed her.
(She was really, REALLY, qute...

@Ericssonkid
Ah. You are trying to pair your phone to another Bluetooth device. This is not what you want to do and won't work. Instead of going into 'My devices' in your Bluetooth menu, select the contact/item you want to send and choose 'Send' then 'Bluetooth'.
Posted by Prosody
@ Ellie
Happy 500th post.
@ Everyone
So... the 6310, tough nut to crack or what?
I was sat on the bus today and scanning, it was busy and one came up... a 6310 (or a 6510... I can't remember) so I send a contact.... sending.... sending.... sending... failed.
BUGGER
So I send again. Same story.
Everytime I scan it shows up and I'm looking round for people with Nokias.
At one point it comes up unknown, and then on another scan its back.
It was there most of the bus journey... just teasing me.
There's me with my BlueRod trying to reel that sucker in... but it never happened. Through my periodic scans I was able to track it down to one of three people who got off the bus when it disappeared altogether... each of them were well within 10M's... man what a jip!
