Years ago I was having issues with dropped calls with a different phone and with Telus. I decieded "Fata it" and bought one of those stupid cell phone boosters off eBay; the ones that people sell for 1¢ and charge $10 shipping.

To my absolute suprise the dang thing worked. Not only did my missed/ dropped call rate go from about 20% to about 1% overnight, but I can use my cell phone in C-Train tunnels. (Cemetary Hill Tunnel is sometimes hit or miss though.)

Looking at the technology behind it; I'm sure a well placed piece of tin foil would do the same job.

Your mileage may vary.
