Hey Gang,
In my life I have seen all kinds of 'tips' that weren't.. Well I stumbled across one that actually did work and I thought I would share.
If you place your cell phone into a parabolic reflector you can increase your cell service.. how much? Down at my house I never could get 3G service which left me to suffer the slings and arrows of what amounted to dial-up if I used my cell phone as a connection. For the last 7 years we have been using a Verizon MiFi instead and it got me thinking, "hell if the MiFi is getting 3G why can't my phone?" Enter a colander, a rubber band, a Jim Beam half pint to prop up the whole rig and a toothpick to hold it all together.
Bingo bango 3 bars of 3G service and $65 dollars back into my pocket.. Fuck you T-Mobile, fuck you Verizon and thank you humble cookware!
