How does it work and whats the work around? I've been to a few places now where my phone will connect to an "extended network" which doesn't allow you to make calls, texts, or use data. Specific examples are a doctors office in green bay (there are signs saying cell phone use isn't allowed in the waiting rooms), and the harbor freight in wausau (no idea why on this one, but I have to make sure and have the coupons saved before entering). 4 bars of 4G until I walk in (verizon).

Also, some office buildings and places get shitty reception and it's not some conspiracy out to get you.I've been falling so long it's like gravity's gone and I'm just floating -

I don't think it's a reception issue. I've got strong Verizon signal until the phone decides to connect to "extended network" which then has very strong signal. What it seems like is happening is there is a fake network extender setup and my phone chooses it. It's happened with two different phones of mine, months apart, in the same buildings which are basically single story strip malls.Comment

If someone was going to do it legally, it would be a Faraday cage. Would be pretty expensive to implement, but it's a passive device that you aren't defeating short of leaving an antenna outside it and running hardline to your device. More likely as others have mentioned, metal building acting as one uninentionally.Comment
