When I was evaluating how a piece of software would work with a bad cell-card connection, I wrapped some tin foil around the antenna. It sounds dumb, but it worked really well; the signal dropped down to a single bar but was not gone completely.

I also tried putting the laptop in a microwave which ended up being not nearly as effective.
