If they really worked, then why don't cell phone companies or the phone manufacturers sell them?
 
do those things really work. i was thinking about putting it on the antenna itself instead of underneath the battery. i have a 7210 and it gets horrible reception and sometimes it doesn't even ring or leave voicemail alerts(which obviously i need because if it doesn't ring i missed calls)
 
If you have a phone that operates at 1900mhz, then you might as well get rid of it. Most of today's phones primarily operate at this frequency and the antenna can cause reception problems by creating a small barrier between your phone and the tower. Basically, if your service provider uses CDMA or GSM, then the antenna is less than worthless.
 
yeah I agree do not waste your money. I have received these for free several times they dont work
 
Have you tried the signal boost function on your fone?

*3370# to turn on
#3370# to turn off

Shld work for ur fone, worked for mine and my friends, it boosts your signal but gives u less battery time, i think its 10% less battery time.

When you do it ur fone shld restart or ask you about voive codec, just say yes

It'll do the same thing as what an antenna booster is supposed to do but you wont need to buy one
 
I'm a cell phone technician, and these thing are nothing more than scotch tape with some silicon or foil attached. They do not help reception, in fact, they can hinder reception. The FTC is pursuing the manufactures of these "antennas" for fraudulent advertising.
 
Call it a coincidence but on my 8260 when I was in school I gained an extra bar inside with the booster. Could have just been a fluke I guess.
 
Yes I am serious. I've read several articles, seen the tests, and even saw CNN run a report.
