Boost iPhone Signal Strength… With Scotch Tape!

Pull an iPhone McGyver Move!As crazy as it seems, apparently this is true (and a crazy McGyver trick indeed!)

The SIM card slot at times does not seat the SIM card all too well. If you’re noticing low signal strength with your iPhone, this may be the problem. The SIM needs to be seated correctly or your signal strength can really, really suffer!

To fix the problem all you need is Scorth tape. Apply it to the blank side of the SIM. This will bulk up the SIM enough to ensure a snug fit, and therefore improved signal strength.

I can’t recommend this procedure as I’m sure it would void your iPhone warranty should things go wrong. However, this really is so simple it should (and apparently does) work.
