Stick on Antenna Booster...do they work?

« on: June 29, 2008, 08:07:03 PM »

These have been out for quite some time. I haven't looked into getting one for any of my phones because I have never had a problem with reception. I've had some "questionable" spots with reception on my phone, and I think we all have experienced the change of bars even if we're sitting down....

Soooo...do these stick on antenna booster work? If so, have you personally used it? I know its only a few bucks, but I don't want to stick anything on my phone unless it works

Who Knows and the Way the Instinct Jumps around how could you tell.

They sell millions of them as you get one free with most E-bay Phone orders . Someone is paying for them.

Now I have used a repeater back in the day and that worked great. I have a one now on my Jeep thats really just a small antenea boost but who knows it was a package deal I put it on .

Pls disregard this post...I have found some research online disproving these "sticker antenna boosters." At least I didn't spend the couple of bucks falling for this scam.

I have just purchased a Samsung s30. I did so even though I knew it had the OLDER EVDO Rev antenna. It was just to good a price to pass up. I have been looking for ways to boost my signal reception. I have learned that on the back of the phone are two VERY small antenna under the battery cover. They look like tiny cable jacks. One is for PCS. The other is for 3G. If you go to this web site they discuss various ways of using these to boost your signal.
