every day someone gets stuck on a mountain whether it be through injury or getting lost with no means of contact due to no signal on their mobile so,adapt the earphone socket on mobile phonesto take a signal booster cable which in turn connects to a plug on a pair of walking sticks which can be moved and pointed to recieve the maximum phone signal. i no phone companies would have to be involved but perhaps an increase in phone sales to walkers and climbers may get them to manufacture this also knowing how many lives they may save each year all over the world .sorry but i only know the theory the practical would be down to the manufacturers

Apart from gaining a little more height, due to the very short wavelenght the mobile phones use I can really see the advantage to having a long pole to form part of an antena.

I CAN’T really see the advantage
The portable Mobile India phone booster Ariel is similar to that of an antenna in television and it is of immense use at some hilly areas where there is no signal.

It is definitely one for the techies. I came across this site that explains how to go about making your own receiver for low signal areas, I can’t see it fitting in a trekking pole just yet though.
