Re: [luv-talk] Faraday-bag for my mobile phone ?

I suspect that the phone may handle this a bit like a mail server - try hard for a while, then decrease the frequency of connection attempts to preserve battery. So the net effect may be quite subtle.

if the faraday shield perfectly blocks an incoming signal, possibly. But if a weak signal still gets through, (like say, putting your phone in the microwave and ringing it, I tried that, it didn't completely block the signal ) then that just tells the phone that more transmit power is required to make sure the phone's signal can be reached by the tower. If you travel outside of range of mobile towers though, you'll probably already know how long your phone's battery will last.
