| bustamove7's Full Review: Global Cellular Antenna Booster Strip |
Here is the excerpt from the company which I purchased the antenna booster:
The internal antenna booster works like a dish on a satellite to capture and emit a stronger signal. By placing the internal antenna behind the fixed antenna of the phone you increase the surface area for sending and receiving messages. Allowing for increased signal strength eliminating dropped calls and reducing static interference.
Fed up with dropped calls and cell phone static interrupting your important calls? The ultra-thin Cell Phone Antenna Booster reduces static and substantially increases cell phone reception in hallways, buildings, tunnels, remote areas -- any place you can think of. Just place the Cell Phone Antenna Booster under your internal battery or attach to the back of your phone and get better reception...instantly! Works with any mobile phone.
The Internal Antenna is a passive device designed to capture stray radiation within the phone and re-radiate the signal to improve the phone's performance. This antenna is easy to install. Just slip it underneath the phone's battery, and enjoy clear, enhanced, static-free reception.
I recently purchased an antenna booster for my nokia 8390.
I tried using it but have not really noticed much of a difference. Now, since AT&T has upgraded their gsm service I can not tell if the better clarity and better reception is coming from the antenna booster or if it's just the improvement in the service by AT&T.
The moral of the story here is: save your money and be wary before getting a contraption like this.
