do those cell phone antenna boosters work?

[Lorax]

you know, those little sticker like things that go in your battery compartment or something... they're all over eb@y and i was wondering how well they work, if at all.

 

[Jothaxe]

I havent tried them, but I am extremely doubtful. Because the wavelengths used are so incredibly small, I dont think the antennae size is a very big issue for cell phones. The issue is more about whether there is enough signal present at all...

*spelling edit*

those things are BULLSH!T!!! its just a piece of paper w/ gold paint on it. some guy wanted to sell me 1000pcs for $1000! i should have bought them just to eGhey...

 

[Lorax]

damn, and all the ads say it really works too...

 

[FreeFrag]

...Microsoft Say thier Operating Systems Work...

 

[amnesiac]

I got one for free and any difference it may have made was negligible. Not worth it.

 

[bonkers325]

not that i know of

 

[yakko]

Yes they make a difference. You will get a 4 to 5 time mprovement over your existing signal clarity. These things work because Nokia, Motorolla, Erickson and others spent millions but their researchers are just not that bright.

 

[FreeFrag]

Yakko, your opinion is a little outnumbered; prove it.

 

[yakko]

FreeFrag,

First off it is yakko, not Yakko. Secondly, if you can't detect the sarcasm in my reply I can send you an instruction manual on how to detect sarcasm.

 

[Killbat]

FreeFrag, you need to adjust your sarcasm sensitivity.

[edit] Hey yakko, send me the manual. Could be an interesting read. 🙂

 

[SpeedTrap]

it looks cool thats about it

 

[FreeFrag]

Hey! I come to AT because it is usually a source of Reliable Information, I dont expect Sarcasm 😛

Nah, J/K 😀 Sorry if I annoyed anyone, Very sorry yakko for incorrectly spelling your name.

If you want to boost your cellphone signal try standing on a chair.

I have a friend who lives in the country, on his front verandah he gets Shepparton transmitter, Back porch he gets Tatura, Sides he gets Muchison...crazy stuff.

But a real doctor, well a real chiropractor, who...well doesn't have any knowledge of digital engineering...anyway, she says it works!

And did you see the expression of the woman in the elevator? It has to work!
