A friend has been complaining of almost no cell service in her house -- she
had to go outside to make and receive calls on her Motorola V551 -- so I
recommended she try the ARC Freedom external antenna. She did (purchased from
DiscountCell.com), and she's been thrilled -- reception inside her house is
now clear and solid -- the improvement is about 2 bars of signal on her phone.
Highly recommended.

Note: I have no connection to these companies or this product -- this is
public service info, not spam.

Are you posting from America or the UK/other country?

In the UK, at least, external aerials don't seem to boost the
signal/reception as much, not nowadays anyway.

Not surprising when you live in a country the size of a postage stamp.
You wouldn't need many cell bases to cover the country! :P

How could that possibly be true, unless the UK is fully saturated with
strong signal?
