i've heard from other people that they work but personally i dont know

just out of curiosity, try putting a piece of tin foil behind your battery :WTF: might work like a bigger antenna, lol

I have one and it works good, but it only last for like 9 months then it dies. It said so on the package. I usually get like 4 out of 5 bars with it in. When I didn't have it I got about 2 bars.

I have Nextel. Don't think that would work with it, since they use kind of a different technology then the others. But maybe it would who knows....

Jag and I bought them because our reception is weak in certain areas around us so we tried those. They didnt increase anything :down:

After our plan expired we went with Nextel......much better choice in wireless service especially if you have family members and friends on the same service (because of the 'chirp' function) :thumbs:



:lol: I could even chirp slice

$20 for a piece of foil stuck to a piece of plastic? :blink:

And it doesn't even connect to anything - you just shove it inside your phone? I don't understand how it can possibily do anything at all. :WTF:

Scam. Stickers don't increase reception. If it did, why wouldn't companies already put these on their phones?

A guy tried to tell me that if your hand covers it, it won't work. I asked him to demonstrate how to hold the phone then and he did, holding it with 2 fingers down at the bottom part of the phone :rofl: I asked him "do I have to hold my pinky out too" he then got mad at me and went to a different customer, needless to say I did not buy it :rofl:

An antenna is tuned to work in a certain frequency range by it length, This fake plays on the public's perception that if a little is good, Then more should be better. Caveat Emptor LINK (http://www.cellantenna.com/internal_cell_phone_antenna.htm)
