North Korean border police now has cell phone detectors

We’ve already reported it’s illegal to use a cell phone in North Korea. In order to make sure everyone’s obeying the stupidest rule on planet, North Korean police is now increasingly using German cell phone signal detectors. Most noticeably it’s near the border with China where people are using mobile phones as they can connect on Chinese carriers.

Regular people in the country are smuggling cell phones from China to stay in touch with their friends and family. Still, the government of North Korea sees this as a major security leak… It’s good to know live in free country…
