Boost Your Cell Service For Cheap

Many a times I have cursed my cell phone and provider because of the ridiculously bad reception one can get. You know what I am referring to, you’re walking in the middle of the street (okay, maybe on a sidewalk) on a bright and sunny day with no massive steel structures anywhere to be seen yet you can only manage to get a single bar or service.

Well, this little neat trick is going to help you get some boost out of your phone. Unfortunately you iPhone and Blackberry users aren’t going to benefit from it. You need a cellphone that has an external antenna connector on the back of it. It’s the little connector on the back that’s covered with a rubber plug, yes that one. Check the video after the break.
