How To Boost Your Cellular Signal
By Tal Siach on December 7th, 2007, in Cellphones Add a comment

Does this sound familiar? You want to make a quick phone call and as soon as you begin dialing, your cell reception drops, showing you have no signal at all. Just like Murphy’s Law, this call is probably really important also.

The neat video below is a step by step tutorial showing you how to boost your cellular signal. It is a cool do it yourself video made by Hoopajoo Labs, which have a nice blog on hacks, hints and downloads to make your life easier.

Enjoy the video!

    So umm… what can you do if you dont have a port for an external antenna anywhere on your phone?

    Boost your cellphone signal by tossing your motorola phone in the trash.

    Good cell hack video, but I would try this with an old handset…, It also depend on the service provider and how strong is their signals…

    Thanks

    Hey “Post On Fire”, I think that they are talking about a phone and service provider that, in this instance, has a weak signal. Why would it matter?

  9. Scott Weaver — December 8th, 2007 @ 7:01 am

    Now that’s some decent information.

    how do you make this work with an iPhone?

  11. blart — December 8th, 2007 @ 7:58 am

    For what networks/frequencies is it intended: TDMA? CDMA? GSM 800/900/1800/1900?

  12. Jaygo333 — December 8th, 2007 @ 8:59 am

    I do believe the hack in question does work with an iPhone.

    First and foremost THROW THE BLOODY THING AWAY.

    Second and twice as important as the first one, GET A NOKIA N95.

    Notice the increased signal strength, better phone quality and quite a number of new technologies in the new phone.

    And that is how you can increase your signal on your iPhone.

    *Now Digg this comment, I command you.

    Seems like a cool idea although I have two phones and neither have external antenna, so I wont be trying it out.

    Should be good for those with an external antenna though!

    I have that same soldering iron. It’s such a piece of crap. Such a piece of equipment should never be powered by AA batteries. Don’t make the same mistake!

    Hi Everyone, thank you all for visiting and commenting.

    This cool diy will work with cellphones that have an external antenna.

    Since I am not certain if it will work in some frequencies and not others, I would try it out on an old cellphone to experiment.
