Default antenna boosters?

Please Login to Remove!

Are there any type of antenna boosters out there? I remember seeing one of those stick on ones that go under the batt. Do they work? I work in a building and my signal is pretty much lost when in there.

those stick on ones make no actual contact with the antennae so I would surmise that they do not help.

Stick on boosters are worthless. If a $.25 sticker made a difference dont you think the manufacturers you buy them in bulk even cheaper and preapply them at the factory?

There are 2 ways to improve signal, add a bigger better antenna to the phone or put an antenna somewhere outside that does have signal and rebroadcast that signal indoors.

I dont think the Bold has an external antenna connector so you are looking at a repeater. Look for one from:

Wireless Extenders - Home

or

wpsantennas.com - Cellular Antenna and Amplifier Reception Solutions

I received an antenna booster sticker free with a battery purchase. I used it for a couple of weeks on my bold and took it off. Not only did I not notice any improvement, I suspect that it may have actually blocked the signal getting to the bold's built in antenna.
