Is there a way for the authorities to jam all cellphones in a distinct area, so as to prevent the detonation of more bombs by cellphone?

All phones companies can shutdown cell towers remotely with computers.

sure Law enforcement has direct lines to the cell providers specifically for that reason... this came about due to incidents like the Madrid bombing when the found that cell phones were the triggers. so if the brought down the network in the area it would not have surprised me at all.

Cell phones only work were there are cell phone towers, all you have to do is shut down nearer cell towers, and I'm sure the TelCos can do that remotely. Cell phones only "talk" to the towers, not directly to each other.
