so no ones here of TOOTHING then!

"And now comes "toothing," where strangers on trains and buses and at bars and concerts hook up for clandestine sex by text messaging each other with their Bluetooth-enabled cell phones or PDAs"

I have recieved a few 'interesting' photos via bluetooth when waiting at a KFC drive through once :-s
Have sent quite a few when in pubs/clubs or other busy places, rarely get anything sent back though

Although never got a **** out of it

suprabeast

sent and received loads of messages in the past... just a bit of fun. Never got a **** either!!

LOL! Never done it, but I have sat in a meeting full of fraud/security analysts and searched for bluetooth devices from my mobile. Amazing the number of people in there who had bluetooth mobile/pda connections left wide open to the outside world with no password protection.

Hello

How do you do it? Is there a guide somewhere?

Steve.

julian N/W wrx my93

you shouldn't even think about it jase!

julian N/W wrx my93

you need a bluetooth phone!

just google TOOTHING and you get a guide from one of the sites.

but from what i've read. You just send a message said something like "are you toothing" and if they understand they will reply back with something.

Depends on what phone you've got. If you've got Bluetooth on it you should be able to scan for connections to other Bluetooth devices. This will pick up connections to mobiles, PDAs and even laptops (does on my phone).

Also commonly known as 'blujacking'.

Hello

I have a Nokia 6320 (with bluetooth), but when I find another device all I can do is attempt to connect to it, nothing else?

I must be missing something ...

Steve.

julian N/W wrx my93

on the 6320

press the left hand BLUE button

it brings up a menu, goto BLUETOOTH menu

go to PAIRED DEVICES press NEW

it will say about switching B/T on first so press yes

then it will start scanning for other B/T phones, pda's etc

To be hoest "toothing" hadn't occurred to me. I was pissing about with my phone and found the password/connection protection options, and wondered how many muppets (aka security analysts) ran firewalls, pgp encryption etc on their laptops but left their phones wide open to abuse!

I store phone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses, contact diaries, notes, photos, voice memos, passwords etc on my mobile and if I wasn't aware of the option to protect my bluetooth connection with a password it would be really easy for somebody to gain access to it all. Out of the box the phone has bluetooth disabled but once switched on it's not configured to demand a password from another device before opening the connection. After speaking to other people at work not many of them were aware that anybody could access the data on their phone!

Hello

Thanks for that, I have done that before. But when I find another phone, all I can do is connect. How would I send a message?

Steve.

minor_threat

Sorry, no idea about your phone. But try connecting to a phone you know has its connection set to open. On my phone (Sony Ericsson P800) I can set it to never receive data, always receive data or ask before receiving data. If I set it to never receive data it will always refuse a connection, so you may have been trying to connect to a phone that has been configured to never receive data from another bluetooth connection. Or the phone may allow you to connect to it but do nothing else.
