Well I was recently buying some parts for my Nokia 3395 and I came across this Internal Antenna Booster (http://cellphoneshop.net/inanboos.html). It's supposed to make you get better reception when using your cellphone. Since my Cingular phone don't get any good reception around my house, I decided to try it out & buy it.

I remember seeing it on TV before. They made you pay like $19.95 for it. Well I got it for only $0.30.

Question is, does it actually work? Has anyone bought this product before, or knows someone with it? It was only 30cents, so it's not really a big loss to me if it don't work.

whenever you buy a cell phone, make sure that the signals it picks up are compatible to your surroundings. dual-band is a good idea too.

my phone (Nokia 6590i) can pick up GSM/GPRS 850/1900 MHz and i've never had a bad reception problem

Don't you notice the difference between the two prices? Maybe something is fishy.

Yeah I noticed that big price difference. Price don&#39;t decide if the product it good or not.

I bought one of those cheap ass eyespy things. Those ones were you point a small microphone at a converstation and you&#39;ll be able to hear it. I got that thing for &#036;5.00 at the local carnival. Later, I see a AD on tv selling the same product for &#036;19.99.

But it&#39;s pretty obvious. Why not purchase the authentic ones?

Now that&#39;s the kind of feedback I was looking for. Sorry to hear you paid &#036;20 for one of those.

Yeah, that&#39;s the thing i&#39;m talking about. Like a sticker made of metal. I guess when the order comes in, i&#39;m gonna have to throw that internal antenna away, or sell it for like 10 bucks at school. :D

Thanks for your feedback. Anymore is welcome.

np. but i don&#39;t think u have to throw ur antenna away. just sell it on ebay or to a friend like u said. it&#39;s still worth something.
