Do cell phone signal boosters really work?

others have internal attenuates that can be anywhere in the phone.

People of course do claim these work, after all if no one was buying signal boosters, they would cease to exist. Some people may slap one of these on their phone after spending a few bucks on one and later on make a call and claim that the call was clearer or they had more signal bars on their screen. Of course the constant change of a phone's position in relation to towers, weather conditions, the network's current status, and the quality of the other caller's network all affect the signal quality second to second.

On top of that people may think that the phone call quality is better simply due to the psychological affect. The makers of the boosters claim they work and say you'll notice a difference, so most people put them on and immediately go to make a call and falsely believe the signal improved. Even if the phone shows more signal bars after adding the booster, that again could be due to changes in the phone's position, network conditions, and weather conditions.

Overall there is no conclusive way to prove that these cell phone signal boosters work but common sense and available evidence suggests that there are too many other conditions affecting a cell phone's operating abilities and environment to conclusively say that cell phone signal boosters actually work. Save your money and find a cell phone provider that works well most of the time and offers high quality phones that will work in many places and under many conditions.
