So I live in NYC in a small pre-war walkup apartment. I have AT&T service via my cell and no landline. Problem is, I get the crappiest signal ever in my apt. Outside on the steps or anywhere else, i get excellent signal. I've resorted to keeping the phone by the window and using a headset...but my signal still drops out and and the connection in general isnt that clear.
So I read about this small company in Texas which has a product that could help me. It's a small little base with a stand (or you use suction cups if you want) with a wire and a plate that attaches to the back of your cell phone for better reception. Definitely sounded too good to be true, but I took a chance and ordered it anyway, making sure I could return it within 30 days.
$60 later, I get the little device which requires no batteries or any power source. I stick it to the window of my apartment and attached the plate to the back of candy-bar style phone via the super-thin velcro they supplied. I restarted my phone...
and BAM, full service...I immediately called a friend and was up and running. No static, zero dropped calls, basically how my phone should be working all the time. In the end, very happy with this product. Only con is, the cord from the plate to the device is kinda short, but i dont care as i use a bluetooth headset. Just thought i'd share.

1. Cell phone reception sucks in apartment
2. Spent $60 on device I read about
3. Reception rocks now, thought I'd share with ATOT
