Ive just got a new nokia 6600 and ive heard that u can play pranks on ppl by using bluetooth in pubs, shopping centres, banks etc.

Heard its called bluejacking, anyone ever done this before? I bet its a right laugh.

Only problem I see is the fact that on my K700i it tells you someone is trying to contact you on bluetooth accept or reject is a choice. Also only the sad muppets who wear there headsets all the time in the pub or anywhere are likely to have bluetooth switched on coz it drains the battery fairly quickly.

You can still have BlueTooth enabled, just select the Hide option to prevent your phone from being "targeted"!

That's not true. Many people appear to have it switched on.

When I got my handset a while back I played with BT for a while (got bored now) but sent many photos and messages to people all over the place from town centres to bars and clubs (this was when I stopped when I realised I was verging on the sad side ) but many of the people I got didn't have head sets, just the handsets.

Best place to do it is in a stadium. When I was at Headingley the other day for Leeds VS St Helens I must have located around 30 different phones surrounding me.

some people are still naive about what bt is and how 2 use it on their phone. when i go to tesco i change mt bt name to tesco and try to send messages as people are more likely to accept! so you send em " show this message to get 10% off your shopping". the possibilities are endless got to KFC change your bt name to KFC and see how many free buckets you can give away, give it a try its harmless.
