The Communications Regulation Commission draws consumers’ attention to the fact that use of GSM/UMTS jammers is prohibited on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria and their users are subject to sanctions of 200 to 2000 BGN, under Art. 328, para. 1, of the Law on Electronic Communications.

 

Jammers are intended to emit radio signals that block the radio signals of other radio devices operating in the same frequency bands. Thus jammers have a “harmful effect”, which creates interferences on other radio services operating in compliance with the national legislation. In this connection, GSM/UMTS jammers cannot be placed on the market and/or put into effect and pursuant to the Ordinance for the essential requirements and conformity assessment of radio and terminal electronic communications equipment and the Law on Technical Requirements to Products.
