In North America, if you go in to some large shopping centres, they are broadcasting on Bluetooth advertising to buy products. The first time I saw this, I was surprised. You have to have the phone set for non discovery, or better yet turn off the Bluetooth when not required. This is to avoid the transmissions from ringing your phone and then producing advertisements on its screen when you press the OK or Enter key.

Went shopping in Dymocks (Sydney city store) on Friday. Just as I was
leaving, my mobile \'phone made a sound that I\'d never heard before. I looked
at the screen, to be greeted with a Bluetooth advertisement from Dymocks.
Neat technology. I didn\'t realise it could be done.
