Can also text 911 now which would overburden the texting protocol network so no one else’s texts will go through.
It’s a cell tower jammer and terrorism multiplier. Can’t call or text. It will probably disturb internet service as well. Include a few radio jammers for local police and a few satellite antennas you could create an opportunity then a panic to cover your tracks getting out.
I would wager a huge majority of text messages in NYC will go through either RCS or iMessages which skips the SMS layer and instead goes direct to data.
Its relatively hard to jam modern BTS with LTE and 5G. It's part of the design. PTP with fancy modulation helps :p
