I am trying to find anyone else that has a problem with reception due t
body chemestry.  The towers on any Cingular phone that I have tried wil
fall to one or two as soon as I hold the phone.  When I give it t
someone else they get full towers.  I was in a Cingular office las
night any tried six or seven different phones with the same result.
The salespeople had never seen this before.  Has anyone

Amny phones now have internal antennas, and can easily be held such that
the signal is attenuated by your body.

Wilson's Disease is a genetic disorder that causes excessive copper
accumulation in the liver or brain. This copper shield prevents the RF from
reaching the cell tower, no just kidding and I'am not making fun of the OP
or anyone with this disease but would look for how you hold the phone vs
other people, the internal antenna is on the back top of most phones. What
model of phones do you have the problem with ?

Yep, great show but it's getting a little repetitive. I think the OP would
do best with phones that offer an external antenna, think it would be easier
to learn to pull the antenna out than learn a new phone grip.

Are you sure you're keeping your fingers below the internal antenna?
Gripping the phone incorrectly can make a huge difference.
