I just tossed my phone in there and I still got a signal.
It's actually super easy to build a simple cage. Just put whatever in a box, wrap the box in foil, then a thin cloth (I used a tea towel), then another layer of foil.
if you want something a little more convenient, they also sell faraday bags for phones and laptops.
Ahh - the ever ambiguous "they."

For science! Good to know (how did you tell with the door closed? text it or something?).
I used the mobile hotspot feature. My internet speeds were very slightly slower, but barely any different, so it clearly leaks a lot.
On mine the call got cut as soon as I closed the door.
