Do Boosters work???

Antenna Boosters do work! And if your serious, buy a Wilson booster that
works. The Dr.

Fact: Since you were looking to boost your signal in your house: wilson
booster antenna. It is an external antenna, cable to the interior, then an
interior "booster", which does amplify signal both inbound/outbound. It
costs more than a penny. This could be perfect for you.

Fact: (According to Wilson)
(http://www.wilsonelectronics.com/antennas/wcstealth.htm): "Up to 90% of a
cellphone's power on transmit and receive is absorbed within a car or truck
and the users head." guessing that the same would be said in your house.
The question could be how much is absorbed by your head.

Opinion: With the above information, there is a reasonable chance that this
piece of .01 to 5.00 "metal", does one of two things:
1) it amplifies the signal and sends it x-fold out into the air (ignoring
that it is not directional, so it is boostering this signal also goes into
your head.
2) if it doesn't amplify, then perhaps it is "blocking" the signal that
would normally go away from your head and reflecting it into your head.
(You usually put this on the back of the phone... between the phone and the
battery.... if it doesn't send stuff away from your head, maybe it reflects
into your head.
3) And personal experience: people who have them on the phone say one of two
things: "it didn't make it any worse" and every so often, one person will
say "it actually improved it, really made a difference"

OK so where are the 5 dollar ones that this thread is referring to?
( Read whole thread ).

We know hard wired and amplifiers ones, ( second message posted ) with two
antennas work, but I haven't seen anything to lead me to believe that the 5
dollar clip-on to the phone unit, do other than get somebody else richer.

Dr. WireMORE wasn't talking about the same thing this thread is.

Was talking about two way active antenna repeaters and external antennas,
which are more than 40 Bucks or so.
I know those work. ;-)
I am using a repeater system in my basement. Works great! I get damn near
full strength now where I couldn't even make a call before.

It's the $5 ones that don't work, I agree.

So - today, by chance and order we placed for ink cartridges came with
a 'FREE' one of those cheap-o sticker things. I'll let you know if
there's any difference.

find a place where you have a weak signal. Install the booster. See if
the signal changes. Try this in a few areas. Pretty easy test.
