The sticker is nothing. Mail me $20 and I'll send a magical boost to your phone. They're both as likely to work.

There is actually antennae to be purchased that can improve you signal. They plug into your phone though so it's not so wireless anymore. They can be purchased at truck stops.

Well, I've spoken to people as well who said that those stickers don't work, either. It's just like taping aluminum foil to the back of the phone.

Dont waste your money on those stickers.. They do have antenna boosters that are cables you can buy at like Radio Shack and other vendors, not sure how/if they really work but some of my customes swear they help

Those stickers like devices that go under your battery are just a fad...

Yes, there are cell amplifier's, but they're not cheap. http://www.cellantenna.com/index.html

You might also look into one of the cell docking stations. I haven't tried one but I'm seriously considering one next time I upgrade my cell and then dropping my land line.

Not sure if this helps, but I have a few customers in my area that placed car antennas on a window at their home and they just plug their phone into that at home. The actual antenna would mount on outside of a window and the cable would be on the inside(cable is about 4 ft). They swear it helped a ton. It doesn't boost you signal power, but it moves your antenna to the outside of the house, they said it gets them two bars on the antenna and they only get one bar or no bars without it. the signal would probably be about the same as you going outside to use your phone. This is actually a cheap fix as well, you can get those for as little as 30 bucks. So if you can get a good connection right outside your house this might be something to try.

Like it was said before, you can get an antenna, they are made by a company called Wilson. You can probably find them at any sort of Wireless dealer but they are definitely cheaper at truck stops!

This is a link to the only thing i was able to find:

http://www.eprocessingcenter.com/mmw/main.php3?Brand ... »

Scroll all the way down to the bottom. It is a cell booster, yet it costs $300.00. Have not used it, nor have i had a customer purchase it so your guess is as good as mine.
