I bought one of these stick-on antenna repeaters. It claims that it boosts cell phone signals. The antenna is placed on the outside glass with 3M tape. The 2-pronged repeater is placed inside with 3M tape. Question: Do I have to evenly align both of these?

I placed the antenna outside, but the repeater was placed a few inches below from the inside. does it matter? does the thing even work? :)

No, they don't work, you can buy a $300 device that does work though Text

Somebody at my office aquired about 100 of the damn things and passed them out. Good thing because they arent worth the 20 bucks they normally sell for.

Didnt do anything.
