Isn't just wrapping the phone in aluminium foil (as many layers as needed to make you feel comfortable) enough to act as a faraday cage? And leaves the cellphone still portable, you can unwrap if/when needed. And then bury it in a pile of clothes in another room (as the article suggests somewhere) for the soundproofing. The refrigerator I feel serves neither of these purposes well (as mentioned in this discussion), and ruins everything when it's time to make a sandwich.
- mahyarm 13y agoAluminium foil does shit all, I've tried it before trying test a signal loss case where I work. It can be kind of tricky to do this stuff actually, the martini shaker one is actually something I'll be using.
- pronoiac 13y agoIt has to be grounded to properly act as a Faraday cage, doesn't it?
- gweinberg 13y agoI just tested this, aluminum foil does seem to block signals coming to my phone. At least, the wrapped cell phone doesn't ring when I call it with my house phone. The wifi signals may still be getting through, I don't know.
