VC’s Techie CockTail

Wi-Ex, a company making indoor mobile 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”
