I've been watching Hannah Fry on TV in The Secret Genius of Modern Life and in the episode on mobile phones they mentioned that the antenna for modern mobile phones is in the edges of the casing, they have more than one antenna to improve reception that are separated by a thin gap, have a look on your phone to see them.
If you hold your phone and 'short' these different antenna out with your hand it reduces the signal, sweaty hands are worse!
I've had trouble with my phone reception and now think that's because it's in a case that's dirty and shorting out the antenna.
I've just cleaned it so will wait to see if reception is improved.
