Wi-Ex, a company making indoor cell phone boosters, has carried out a survey into the things people do to get reception.
Apparently 62% have done something special to improve reception with 46% having to go outside to use the phone.
Below are some of the ways mobile phone users have tried to boost their reception:
- “Stood in the closet with the light off”
- “Stand in my daughter’s room while touching the chain from her ceiling fan”
- “Stand on higher things like a couch or chair”
- “Stood by metal [stuff]”
- “Lay perfectly still without moving”
- “Run back and forth”
- “Moved my arm around”
- “Held my head at a funny angle”
- “Gone upstairs”
- “Hang out the window”
- “Kept moving my cell phone until I got a signal – and ended up pulling a matrix move as I tried to keep the signal”
Lloyd Meese, President and CEO of Wi-Ex, commented:
Mobile phones have evolved from car phones to hand held data devices that increase productivity throughout our business and personal lives. As cell phones have become more integrated into our lives, consumers are demanding better reception at home, in the office and on the go.
