Hi all, The brother and his missus live in the sticks and they can only get a really faint mobile signal. I was wondering, is there anything I could whip up like MacGyver out of everyday items to make a signal booster? Like tinfoil, string, wire etc. household stuff. Anyone ever have any success with such a contraption?

Try a different handset maybe? Some handsets hold signal much better than others. Nokia 6230i has always been pretty strong in my experience.
