    It's a Faraday Cage. The metal box serves as a shield preventing RF signals going in or out.

    Yup, not all. Lifts that are glass encased and those on construction sites

    or sometimes, they place tranceivers inside.

    Actually some building has telco repeaters per floors, like in our building Globe has repeaters per floor so even in elevators you can do voice/text, other providers like Sun and Smart has no signals inside the elevators.

    kasi meron spirits ang mga elevators

    the operating frequencies of the spirits cancel out celphone frequencies

    spirits don't live in basements

    coz they're afraid of Basement Cat



    kaya meron celphone signal sa mga basement

    Metal boxes and thick concrete effectively shields radio signals from getting in or out.

    Elevators tend to be metal box constructs and tends to be located in the central core of most buildings. Mobiles phones don't have enough wattage in its radio emitter to punch through.

Bakit nawawalan ng signal sa elevator?
