Cell Phone Home Antenna

I'm looking for a very good cell phone antenna. I am going to buy me a prepaid cell phone and here in the southern part of missouri in a very hilly area there is no signals. I need to be reachable 24/7, the only way I can currently recieve a signal is to climb a tree or something high. Any Ideas?

I saw a device on tv a while back that worked like a portable cell tower, but I do not remember what it was called.

Any help here would be appreciated.

I've seen those things on T.V. too. They're just a gimmick.

I know several store managers pretty good and while talking to one of them, we discussed the "As Seen On T.V." doo-hicky in question. We both wondered if it really worked. She let me borrow it to try out. I read the directions, peeled the backing off, removed my battery, and stuck it in place.. I took it around the county to all the known weak spots and dead spots. It had no noticeable effect. The dead spots were still dead; the weak spots were still weak.

I live in a building that does restricts my cell phone reception. I do not get ANY signal inside, it is my personal residence not an apartment building or anything, I am trying to find an antenna to put up so I can get reception inside my home. I have a cingular LG phone
thanks

Switch to verizon. Or go to your cingular dealer and ask for a antenna for your car. Run it out the window of your appt. and maybe you will get a signal. you can also take your phone to radio shack and ask them which antenna.

I unfortunately don't get very good reception at my house on my cell phone. I can't make a phone call and can only text if my phone on on top of the fridge. Does anyone know if there's some sort of device you can hook up to your cell phone to make an antenna, or something you can sit where you normally get service and have it boost the signal throughout your house? I live in northern kentucky and my phone service is through cincinnati bell. I'd do the zoomtown to router, to cell phone dealio but zoomtown doesn't even reach out to where i live. I can't afford any other service provider. Am I pretty much screwed or can someone help me? Even if someone found a guide to open the phone and add in your own home made antenna I'd appreciate it. I have a Nokia 6085.

Yes, there are several options available for you. First, don't buy into any of those gimmicky little strips that attach under your battery that boast that they will boost your signal by three bars, etc. They've been tested and don't usually work. Do a Google search for "cell phone signal booster" and several options should pop up. Generally you will want to look for some sort of amplifier / antenna that will be mounted in your house or on the outside of your house. Usually cost anywhere from $40 up to several hundred dollars. Remember, you get what you pay for so I would avoid anything for sale under the $40 mark. I guess it all depends on how bad you need cell phone service. There is also an option where you essentially take your antenna off of your phone and install an adapter that connects you to an exterior mounted antenna without having to shell out the money for an amplifier, as long as you have good cell phone signal strength outside of your house. If I remember correctly, Nokia phones were quite adaptable to this kind of adapter. Check out www.unwiredsignal.com and you should find everything you're looking for. The adapter sells for about $14.00, with a decent antenna selling for anywhere from $70.00 up to $300.00. Hope this info helps.
