Is there a way to boost the reception of your phone?
If I put my phone in a metal case with long antennas on it would that work?

Yes, you can. There are remote locations in Australia where they use “satellite dish” like constructions to make a phone hotspot: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-08-12/mobile-hot-spots-in-remote-nt/6688924
The principle is the same as a normal satellite dish: it concentrates the weak radio waves onto a single spot, in this case your phone.
Just sticking random antennas on something doesn’t work though – antennas need very precise dimensions and alignments to work *at all*.
