Do you still get mobile phone reception ok?

Happy to be proven wrong, wouldn't a Faraday Cage need to be tuned to absorb whatever wavelength you're aiming to block?

In the same way that you can see in to a microwave because the terahertz μm waves can pass through the holes but the microwave mm waves are blocked.

Afaik The holes in the faraday cage must be smaller than the wavelength you seek to block. If a faraday cage were to block WiFi it would also block your cellphone.

Only if it needs to cross the cage, you can have a base station inside the cage and another outside just fine.
