iTena - anyone use this thing?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=007

I thought I would try one out. I get little to no signal at my home and the reviewers on ebay say it works; Easy refund if it doesn't too so it cant hurt.

In my experience, signal boosters are a scam. That being said, the video looks pretty convincing and authentic. If you do get one, please let us know how well it works.

cheers,

I just purchased one as well. I had something similar years back with my Palm Treo and it worked great. I never lost my signal and in areas where everyone with me had little or no service, I had 50% or more on the signal bars and calls were great.

I will let everyone know how it works here in Canada once I get it.

These devices typically are a scam.

This guy could be in the back office of a cellular store and have turned off the stores signal booster system (all retail cellular stores have some sort of device to give you a perfect signal in the stoire). Then they stick it on and someone in the store flips the system back on and BAM instant 5 bar signal.

Its funny that a 1 bar went to 5...I would expect a 1 to 2 bar increase. I would also expect that the effect is 100% lost in a moving car.

Yeah they work. Not sure what they do with the hardware or if they have adverse effects. Logically to me akk phones would come with these neat little stickers if there wasn;t a possible adverse effect.

the thing is, i have an invisibile shield on my iphone. i think this sticker needs to be applied directly to the iphone without anything in the way. but i just got a replacement shield so i was wondering, if i install the i-tena first then go over it with the new invisible shield, should it work properly?

It should work, but your InvisibleShield might not fit properly cause of the slightly thicker base.

There is and it's free.
Poke your speaker hole with a needle and you will get at least a 30%-60% volume boost.

As far as those sticker antennas work...well they sadly don't even though the idea behind it is quite cute.

Not gonna comment on whether it is a scam or not, but I will say this:

At least in the U.S., it is illegal to have a active signal booster (such as the one described being in every cellular store, that emits a stronger signal than it receives. Of course, it could receive a strong signal outside, and reemit that same strength inside, but from 5 bars to one? That would mean 5 bars outside, one bar inside...... No store is quite that bad!

Got mine last friday and it doesn't work well at my house but in other places it does. I think the thing with it is if theres little to no signal it will not do too much but If you get like 2-3 bars it will help out some.
