Of course it does. You should buy one for every person in your family.

Yes. Yes it does. I think you should pay $20 for a piece of laminated tinfoil that will make your phone work better.
Speaking of incredible deals, I have some top quality snake oil I can sell you.

you are correct. no, i don't own it, because it is snake oil. it does nothing. i know a few people that were brave enough to try it, and found that it was worthless. but if you want to try it, go ahead.

i propose anandtech include a [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tag thingy in the toolbox thing above the text entry field.

for example:
[sarcasm] I'm so smart and you're NOT [/sarcasm]

see how well that works?


and spanky, these suckers do NOT work.

You've probably already had something very similar and didn't know it, and threw it away!

I'm talking about those inventory control devices you find embedded in some product packages!

To answer your question, no it does not work. This device constitutes what is known as a quack. They must sell a lot of them. This should tell you something about the average joe, eh?

Cheers!

Seriously.. anyone that's joking about it.. probably aren't sure of the answer themselves.

I honestly don't know if this works. I would think if something so cheap will actually boost the reception, the phone makers themselves probably have something like it installed in the phone.

"I think" any kind of metal/aluminum addition will help kind of like a radio, but not enough to pay any money for it.
Again, I'm just guessing. Anyone have any scientific explanation to backup any side?

I bought it a while back for like $10 on egay & it does not work.

Absolutely...even if that person doesn't even HAVE a cell phone...get them one and stick it to their forehead. It'll make communicating w/the aliens a LOT easier.

I can't believe you posted this question!

 

[prodigy]

Works as well as this.

 

[Freejack2]

In theory if you are on an ancient analog system it may help boost an analog signal. It won't do sh!t for a digital signal.

yes, this is all a dream. pinch yourself now. actually, punch yourself in the face.

 

[MrEnigma]

Most people give them away for free now..but some still sell them for like 20 bucks...don't ever pay for one...if you get one free with stuff..don't put it on your phone, people will mock you...heh
