What signal blocking adds

A standard lockable pouch keeps a phone out of reach, but the phone can still connect, share its data as a hotspot or pass messages to a smartwatch. The Signal Blocking versions of PhoneLock Secure and PhoneLock Access have a Faraday lining that stops the phone connecting to anything while it’s sealed inside.

That closes the gaps schools see after a phone policy starts: hotspotting to laptops, tethering and smartwatch messaging. Read more in our guide to stopping student hotspotting.

Signal Blocking or Non Signal Blocking?

Both versions use the same lockable pouch and cost the same. Choose Signal Blocking where hotspotting or smartwatch messaging is an issue, often in secondary year levels, and Non Signal Blocking where you only need phones secured. Many schools order a mix.

Because calls can’t reach a phone in a Signal Blocking pouch, families contact students through the school office during the day.

Legal, unlike jammers

Phone jammers are illegal to own, supply or use in Australia. A Faraday lined pouch only affects the phone inside it, so it doesn’t interfere with anyone else’s phone or with emergency calls on other devices.

Frequently asked questions

What does a signal blocking phone pouch block?

When it’s sealed, the Faraday lining blocks calls, texts, mobile data, WiFi and Bluetooth to and from the phone inside.

Is a signal blocking pouch the same as a Faraday bag?

It uses the same principle: a conductive Faraday lining. PhoneLock adds a lock, so students can’t open the pouch until staff unlock it.

How much do signal blocking pouches cost?

PhoneLock Secure and PhoneLock Access cost the same as the Non Signal Blocking versions: one set price whatever the quantity, with no subscription.

Can we test signal blocking before ordering?

Yes. The PhoneLock Sample Pack includes a Signal Blocking and a Non Signal Blocking pouch, an unlocking station and a release tool, free on return.
