i sent 'Bon Voyage from The Hog  ' to all the people i could find checking in on the eurostar on tuesday.
i thought it was the nicest bluejacking i ever did! 
and yeah there are disproportionately far more 6310i that i have  jd than i see people using-- they are vulnerable souls...

I discover a lot with the name 'phone' which i'm thinking that they are 6310i's because maybe nokia did'nt have the technology to show the phone name when they made them!
If nobody wants it.. put it on eBay. |

Cooooool !!!!!! I did the same thing to my wife and as usual, she was amused with with my cruelty to her Nokia. I've been an Ericsson user since the R380 models.
TIP : When you do this, make sure that you change your Phone's Name (Connectivity-Bluetooth-Options-Phone Name) to something that cannot be traced to you !!! May I suggest placing "SE Rules" ?
Cheers !!! |

i tried this with my dads 6310i but it didnt work... it only worked when i actually went to the menu and turned blue tooth on and i couldent find a option so it was always on without an icon on the screen. and if people didnt know anything about bluetooth y would they change any settings to let people be able to bluejack them? is this the same with any nokia or are the newer ones differant??? |

@lowrida
i leave my on permanently... it's not a setting which 'allows you to be bluejacked' per se, it is a function for being able to connect to devices w/o enabling each and every time. bluejacking wasn't exactly envisioned when they designed it i'm sure.
nk phones do vary, i've used a 7650 in the past and don't believe that could be easily jd in the traditional manner. However the 6310i can be done easily and it is one of their 'business' models (as opposed to their 'toy phone' and 'fashion' models-- business users are more likely to have tried connectivity functions than the average punter that just calls/ texts, i.e. to leave on.

yeah it's easy to give the game away, i just stick with the default t68i/ t610... just so they know the power of  but not who to punch/ slap |

boyi... I don't think they would be 6310i because I find alot of 6310i which identify themselves as such. Sometimes the owner has been adventurous and changed it to Daves 6310i or Karens 6310i but thats about all. I have never found anything that identifies itself as just phone. perhaps thats what happens when the phone name cannot be found although my T610 says unknown in these cases.

You've all mentioned the best bluejacks you've done, but I'm wondering about the best way to avoid / deter would-be bluejackers.
Any thoughts on the following:
So far I've tried renaming my phone to a single space character so you can't see any name listed on discover, although the phone icon is still there. I've also tried naming my phone as 'Unknown' so they think the phone's not in range.
Reason for this is theres a mate at work who's constantly trying it on with bluetooth devices. Ok it was fun at first, but theres only so many times he tries it until it really takes the piss. - Whats the best way to get our own back on them?

Not really - when he lingers around following you like shit to a blanket!
Its no real issue, just a minor annoyance. Why should we have to stop using BT to get work done whilst he's in the area.
Don't get me wrong, I think Bluejacking is great - but so are donuts and anyone who eats 20 of them in one go is being excessive. - get my drift?
Would be nice if you could block recieving from certain phones, but thats not how it was designed.
We could turn BT off on all our kit, but that just means he's won. Was looking for a way of countering this, but I guess there isn't one.
Unfortunate if somehow he 'lost' his phone tomorrow. Shame cos its a nice P800. |

@ Gubbage: maybe I'm missing something (or the T610 is different) but the advantage of S-E phones in BlueJacking terms is that they can be ON for BT whilst being OFF for 'discoverable' (usually 'discoverable' for 3 mins only).
Blokias are good victims cos they don't have a choice- ON for BT means ON for discoverable too.
Perhaps check your settings; or maybe your friend IS taking the piss...
... or maybe he REALLY LIKES you!
@ all: I get lots of "phone" hits and also "Dave's 6310" also.
"phone" may simply be an indicative but savage indictment of the mind-shattering imagination of the typical Nokia user.

i can bluejacking with an Ipaq 3970 and can save all bluejacked mobiles with the MAC Adress. With this device can i trace other devices and can see if he have his name changed. I can see if a device receives at the first time or i have it seen more often. |

'phone' usually means that a phone is within range but the handset in unable to id it specifically coz it's hovering just at the edge of fallin out of yr handset's permissible range for detection.....
i still prefer yr definition tho
