A name flashes on your mobile phone screen and a smile appears on your face as the caller is someone very dear to you, but suddenly you see only a signal strength bar and all your joy is immediately gone. Has it ever happened to you? If yes, then you are in dire need to know the ways that you can make your cell phone receive a stronger signal instead. Here are some unusual but highly effective methods to boost mobile signal reception.

1) Use Tesla coils and tape

Take a small piece of Tesla coil, an electrical resonant transformer circuit, and attach it to the external antenna of your phone with the help of some masking tape. It really helps to increase the signal strength received by your phone. However, this option is only feasible if you can find the external antenna on the phone.

2) Put the clips to work

Here comes the easiest way to improve the signal strength received by your cell phone. The clips are easily available anywhere. Just place it on the external antenna of your phone. But you need to be careful when doing so as improper use of these clips may cause scratches on the screen or body.

3) Choose your discarded radio antenna

No, we are not kidding here, the trick actually works. All you have to do is take a copper cable and connect the external antenna of your mobile phone to a radio antenna. If you still don’t believe it, you can watch testimonial videos posted on YouTube that guarantee good results from the technique.

4) Take the Tin-Can Phone Clue

Do you remember the tin can phone you used when you were a kid? Do it again by soldering two tins together and connect it to your phone’s external antenna with a copper wire. It will surely take some time, but the results would be amazing. You can boost 2-3 bars of signal on your phone screen.

5) Create an Additional Antenna

Take a piece of insulated wire, ideally 20cm long, and wrap it around a stick to make your own antenna. When attached to the mobile phone’s external antenna, it works as an additional antenna and provides more signal strength to enable an uninterrupted, high-quality calling and browsing experience.

6) Never let signal bars go below 2

Depleted batteries need more power to search for signals. That’s why keeping your phone always charged can be a good way to minimize connectivity issues. Make sure your phone battery is charged to at least 2 bars all the time. Anytime you find it’s draining past that point, start charging it.

I hope you find these methods helpful in keeping battery problems at bay. You can also invest in a good quality mobile signal booster to enjoy sound signal strength in your home, office or car.
