And not a single one understood the message since it was in English.
Well, here's an impressive idea.

Yeah since all people outside of America don't know English.

For one, most Hong Kong residents speak English. For another, it doesn't need language to communicate its message.
I was just making a joke :c

Well, English is certainly the business language of the city, and it is arguably the best place in Asia in terms of local fluency of English, but outside of government officials and touristy areas, you'd be surprised how many people there don't speak anything beyond Cantonese.
That being said, I'm sure this commercial would be depicted in both English and Cantonese since both are official languages of the city.

Not a single one understood the slogan since it was in German.
Pretty sure they don't understand english, otherwise they would have turned off their god damn phones!
"A reminder to keep your eyes on the road.
...and to turn your phone off when you go to the cinema, you heretics."
How did the cinema get everyones numbers?

It's scripted

It's not hard actually. If it wasn't scripted, as is suggested, assuming they have someone who knows a thing or two about programming they just gotta send a signal that the phones would pick up as a text.

Don't phones usually have measures against that?
[QUOTE=Sivics;45050138]Don't phones usually have measures against that?[/QUOTE]
IIRC, the signal between the tower and the phone is encrypted with a unique key that's stored in the SIM card. Unless you encrypt the signal in a way the phone expects, I assume it will just be received as junk and ignored.

Can be hacked. A lot of people at the DEFCON/blackhat conferences have exploited GSM. Base stations can be spoofed.

there is literally no way this could be real.
it's still a good ad.
Scripted, but was good

You might at least want to glance at the spec before spewing shit out.
You'd have to set up a fake base station, have better signal strength than the real tower, and then jam communications for a while so all the phones have to find a new tower. All of which is extremely illegal, since jamming the airwaves is a really fucking good way to disrupt emergency communications, like someone calling for an ambulance.

Easy peasy japanesey. Location based broadcaster.
Either way not everyone would whip out their phone all at once. They've all got their ringers on and I know at least one of them would have some crazyass song as their tone. I know I do.
Fake af but still a good ad.
This is fake because you're not allowed to record in a movie theater.
driving while texting confirmed for stopped no one does it anymore now at all because of this video

I'm not saying they did all of that. But it is 100% entirely possible.
If it's technological, it can be hacked.

Not to mention every single carrier is going to have marginally different protocols and standards, as well as differences in the phones too.

I'd love to see you try to break into my WiFi. It's "possible". It's not feasible in the slightest to do, not even factoring in the legal trouble you'd be in for jamming everyone's phones.
When someone says that something is possible, can't you just agree with that fact and move on? Arguing about the legality of it is pointless. We all know it's illegal. No one is challenging that fact. Shit, it's like you all sit on your computers all day just waiting to pounce on someone for no damn good reason.
What if they gave them all movie-phones or something
what if i wasn't a douche and i turned my phone off before i got in the theater
whoosh
Android phones usually have a lot of bloatware programs installed, right? If movie theaters could co-operate with phone vendors, they could possibly make one of those bloatwares accept Bluetooth connections from the theater to play the phone's set ringtone with a fake "EYES ON THE ROAD" message being displayed on the screen.
Would be much more effort than it's worth, but possible.
In Norway, the police can send out mass texts to areas they choose, it's quite possible they got help from the police/service provider, but with the bazillion camera angles it's a bit hard to believe.
