Anyone know if those cell phone antenna boosters all over the place actually work to improve reception?

If something as simple as a little sticker boosted cell phone reception, don't you think the manufacturers would already have used it?

I don't know if they really work in the scientific world. But on my P800 It made it possible to using it in my office, before that it had some hard time receiving calls, now it seems to work much better. Go ahead and try it.
after all it only cost about $1-2 dollars on eBay

i dont think a sticker can boost ur antenna signal!....

you need an energy source to make the signal stronger. a piece of thin sticky metal wont do the trick

CBC Street Cents has an article on them... and apparently they are useless.

Well not "entirely" useless... They're extremely useful for separating suckers from their money and making the "inventor" rich

Enough people believe they work to make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

I think when I want better reception, I'll plug a larger antenna into the antenna port on my p800. That'll definately work

Do they sell external antennas for p800?
