The "cellular phoney" sticker came free with the pills, so I didn't object...I didn't put it on my phone either though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif
Oh, and the pills were worthless...I won't be buying any more. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I heard they now improve the output of led and incandescent lights , maybe a new marketing niche? LOL!

I like to sit at street corners with one stuck to my forehead just listening...

I have one of these on my mobile phone and I work for Siemens Mobile (the GSM department) Not because it works but because of the Modding factor involved. I've got some of those flashing leds that react to antenna signals as well. No batteries involved, just the energy transmitted by the antenna is captured and turned into ledlight /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I WANTED one of those flashing antenna things, but they won't work with CDMA phones. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

What about if you wrap the sticker around the antenna would that do some thing? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

The antenna is tuned to the frequency which is different for the EU and the US

Just a little side note on the antenna thing. I DID buy one of those short metal antenna from off of Ebay. However, the signal strength is a bar or two lower, . . UNLESS I touch the antenna with my finger, then I get those bars back. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

My dad had one of those external antennaes too. He noticed no real difference. Then he took it apart and found something wasn't soldered, so he soldered it, then he claimed he could definately tell a difference. YMMV

Let's check the price on eBay...
