Wireless Signal Boosters

Do those cell phone reception boosters that you see sold on the TV and internet work? I am talking about the chip that you stick to your battery and it is supposed to boost your cell phone signal. My house gets horrible signal and I am willing to try anything

Where can I find a cell phone reception booster? i want to get a friend something to help his cell phone reception as he works in a rural area and doesn't always get reception. I've seen a lot of different products but I don't want to spend more than 20 or 30 dollars. Anyone know of anything that cheap that actually works?

cell phone reception boosters? i live in basically a dead zone...i can go almost one mile in any direction from my house and get service but not at my house.....where im so close to getting signal, is there any tricks or anything i can do to boost reception at least enough to get digital signal to send texts? any help please!!! p.s., i have an alltel scoop phone, if that helps any... ok thanks for the reason why bob, but i need something to fix the problem i need my phone

Cell phone reception booster that works? I tried four different carriers before finding one that gave me at least somewhat of a signal where I live (out in the sticks). I recently had to return my phone due to damage, and neither of the two replacements, or the loaner they provided for the time to exchange got a signal at all. Actually the second replacement gets one sometimes, but not at all close to what my original cell got. My question is, are there any signal boosters that really work, not like the little sticker that you put inside the case. I seem to remember seeing something resembling a small dish antenna that was advertised to be used inside the home and guaranteed improved reception in areas such as mine. Does anyone know of this or any other type of signal booster that isn't just hype? My land line frequently goes out and I don't like having no way to contact someone should the need arise. Thanks in advance...

cell phone reception booster or advice? Me and my family just moved into a new apartment and we all have different cell phone providers.

We live on the bottom floor and the apartment seems closed in (somewhat like a tunnel) so i dont know if thats why. But I wanted to know if anyone had any solutions or could help me get service. (FYI even by the windows we get little reception)

Does anyone know if cell phone network extenders are worth it? I have a new place and my cell phone has terrible reception in most of the place.

Anyone have one and know if its worth the investment?

Does Sprint's in-home cell phone reception booster cause cancer? I know, everything causes cancer these days. But as I understand it, cell towers give you more than the 'usual' dose. As such, I felt like I should find out if one of these devices which boosts your cell phone's reception in your own home by essentially acting as (what is said to be akin to) a cell phone tower in your own home. I could not find the items online tonight for some reason, but nonetheless, I know Sprint has a device that boosts the reception in your home with a white-ish device which costs $100, then +$5 a month (I believe Verizon's, years ago, costed $200 with no monthly fee). If anyone can send me a link for the Sprint version of this, please do so! The question is, however, would these devices cause more cancer in a person than, say, a Wi-Fi router? Or standard radios? Would it be worth the risk to one's health, in other words, to buy such a thing (given that I get next to no reception in my house as-is and that's where I normally use my cell phone)?

Cell Phone Case, Screen Protector, Reception Booster I just bought the LG Dare. I want to know whether I should get a Hard Cover or a Silicone Cover. And I also want to know if there is a screen protector cover that acts as a mirror, kind of like the LG Shine. I've seen some sites claiming that they have it, but it looks fake. Also, I want to know if there is any way to boost your cell phone reception, for example that sticker that you put in your phone behind the battery. But does it really work?

Is there any such thing as a Cell Phone antenna booster? I live in a very marginal cell. phone reception area; sometimes I get the tower, with one or two bars, and sometimes not.

Then perhaps I could get WiFi for my computers as well... TIA!

Poor cell phone reception in new house? I just purchased a new home and I have bad cell phone reception. I moved to a somewhat rural area. I get reception just down the street, and even outside my own house, but not inside. I have a great plan with Verizon, and I don't want to have to cancel it. The only other cell phone company with good reception out there is US Cellular, and I don't want to go back to using them again.

Cell-Phone Amplifier or booster? Hi, I (like many others) have terrible cell phone reception. Which is why I still keep a land-line at my house running. Recently I've been online researching different cell phone carriers, trying to see if one would have better reception then the other(typing in address, which brings up a map of reception levels). Seeing as all carriers provide roughly the same "1-bar" reception, (according to map/experimenting with Verizon and sprint) Plan-B is all i could think up of which consists of some type of Antenna which would boost/amplify my cell phone reception. Apparently from what I have read- the "boosters" only work if you have good reception say in one area of your house providing other "dead-spots" with clear calling. But I digress,(thought i should give you background knowledge on my situation) my question is if anyone knows of a Cell Phone External Antenna that possibly "creates" better reception (or uses clear reception from maby half a town over lol) so I can finally get rid all together of my land-line/rationalize the fact that paying high cell phone bills is worth all the use of the phone Thank-You! =]

Which cell phone should I buy? I am choosing between one of the following GSM 850 cell phones, which both work with a special cable that allows me to connect a cell phone to my handspring visor pda for internet access: Motorola T720 / 721 nokia 6200 ericsson T616, T316, T306, T62u I am leaning towards either the motorola or nokia. One consideration for me is that inside my house I currently have very poor (pretty much none) reception. If I walk outside my door I have ok reception. I understand the nokia 6200 has excellent reception and is a great phone, but it has an internal antenna so it limits other options like "boosters" and "expandable antenna's" etc. The motorola phone seems to be only "so-so" for quality and reception, but I can use an expandable antenna like this one with it: http://cgi.ebay.com/FOR-MOTOROLA-GSM-T720-T721-T722-T725-SILVER-ANTENNA-1_W0QQitemZ220044152502QQihZ012QQcategoryZ41297QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem So - for GSM 850, would that antenna improve anything, or just stick with good nokia?

I just bought a Wireless Xtenderz Zboost YX545 Signal Booster for my cellular phone. Will it work? I just bought a Wireless Xtenderz ZBOOST YX545 cellular phone booster but have not received it yet.I have an At&t cell phone and account. I just moved to a new apt within the city of Birmingham, Alabama and have Zero Service within the confines of my apt since my new apt is in the basement, and my building sits in a small valley. I have great reception when i go up to he ground level but have absolutely ZERO reception in my APT. I need to know if this booster will work out of the box or if i have to pay more money to ATT for some sort of service or what. If you have any info on how these boosters work, please let me know. I would be very very appreciative. Thanks for your time. Respectfully, Chef Luis Alfonso Pernia Corvato... I'm certainly capable of running some cables to a discrete location so that the vandals of the building will pass it over. I just need to know whether or not the cellular amplifier/booster will work with the cell phone, and company whom i deal with. I also have no idea if i have to pay extra, as I said in the listing of thie question. Anyways, I'm just aggrevated. AT&T wouldnt give me a descent answer. They said that i have to pay 45 bucks a month for service and that i have to buy THEIR BOOSTER which costs 200 bucks in order to have proper service. They also told me that i had to find out on my own whether or not the Booster that I bought would work with their system. JEEZE. what a pain in the ass. -CLP

Which one should I get for a cell phone Extender? Currently, I live in an apartment where all my roommates and I have AT&T Cellular Phone Service. Unfortunately, it seems like only Verizon has any luck in the building. Sometimes I would have to stand on the balcony to get some kind of decent reception. As I was researching online, I came across: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Extenders-YX510-PCS-CELDual-Booster-Coverage/dp/B000J2XZ1K/ref=pd_cp_cps_1 The problem is the price-tag and since all of us are using one service, I'm trying to decide if I get the "PCS" (1900 MHz) or the "CEL" (800 MHz) model. Remember, all of us use AT&T. Thanks.
