internal cell phone antenna

[ckk81]

have anyone tried this as seen on tv thing?

its like a sticker that u stick on the inside of your phone that is suppose to boost reception.

Anyone tried it and does it make a difference?

 

[Pretender]

how exactly is something that doesn't even connect to your phone's antenna supposed to help it? magic?

 

[Spoooon]

Someone posted this before I think. Like someone in that thread said, do you really think Nokia, et al somehow didn't realize a sticky piece of gold film or whatever will boost reception up to 50%? I suppose anything is possible, but I'm not going to spend 20 dollars finding out.

These were sold on eGay for $0.01 each...

And no, they don't work, but I feel sorry for those who spent $20 or so for that japanese-label piece of gold paper.

What a ripoff..

Hey on my dads car his radio antenna is built into the windshield kind of using the same principle as that thin piece of plastic. It works better then a normal antenna too.

Actually an antenna doesn't have to be connected to a transmitter to work, there are such things and they are known commonly as passive repeater antennas. That said though, the one on the sticker is far too small to make any difference and is just a waste of money, as is the &quot;wave scrambler&quot;. Besides we all know the harmful radiation comes out of the earpiece

these are poo.

Luckily it only cost me $2 off egay, so I didn't waste too much money.

Quick everyone point and laugh...wait a minute...hey I've got this aluminum foil hat that keeps the government from reading your mind, I'll sell it for just $3


everyone needs some ribbing now and then heh

 

[ckk81]

hahah thanks for the replies, lucky i didn't waste my money on it!

 

[tigerbait]

Hey! I had good reason to try it out. The stubby antenna on my Nokia 6185 had cracked inside, and I couldn't replace it, so I figured I'd give this a try.

 

[Thegonagle]

And I have a rock that keeps tigers away.


Yeah, I saw the commercial tonight. It looks pretty lame. I don?t think it could possibly work. And don?t get me started on the ?wave scrambler.? The only harmful radiation is from the mouths of the people trying to sell this garbage.

HAHAHAH... yeah I love how they make it look like it's got traces and little transisters on it. Always gives me a chuckle when I see commercials for crap like that... it quickly turns to sighs though as I imagine how f'ing rich the inventor of that POS is. :|

[tkim]
