    I bought one of these off ebay a while back

    Haven't noticed any difference on my mobile with it in.

  • It depends which ones, Some are just stickers that have no effect on anything.

    From the e-mail i recieved from customer services a while a go these sound like the real deal.
  • I'm sure I saw something on that Sky Science show Brainiac where they tried all sorts of things to boost a mobile phone signal like tin foil. i think someone had asked how to do it for free. I can't remember if it worked or not though!
    Nice to save.

    No these don't work and its not worth paying any postage for them! I got one and found out that they are American and so can't pick up the signals here! so unless you are off to America soon........... you could try and sell it but its worth about 5p, It won't harm your phone. :)
    :p:p Angel :p:p
  • apparantly if you wrap your phone in goil and put it next to a radio then use it you get a better signal ... dunno for sur not needed to try it !
    It's better to travel hopefully than arrive...

    yes, i saw that brainiac program (dont ask me why i was watching it) and they found that the signal boosters are completely useless!!

    Hope that helps!
