Particularly in a lift which might be a Faraday Cage


I have been surprised several times in the last few years to see people making or receiving mobile calls while in a lift. I had assumed that the sheet metal on all 6 sides would form a fairly effective barrier to signals, but apparently not. Does anyone understand why?

Back to the original post: one danger here might be that you have a phone that works while in a lift that fails, but the number you are supposed to call is taped the the button on the landing outside it not inside the car.
