Q&A: Did you ever buy one of those cell phone antennae extender stickers?

It was clear plastic, the paint had gold flecks in it and it looked like a circuit. You placed it inside the phone, under where the battery goes.
I bought one for like $ 1.00. My cell phone’s reception really sucked and I figured I can risk a dollar for better resception.

Did they ever really work? I noticed no real improvement.

Answer by D.M.

Answer by Styles Gagan
I saw those, but I’ve never had a problem with reception, so I never had a need for them..

Cell Phone Tower


Image by Xymon

Hi,

me and my sister like to explore my church. So, one day we were exploring this room which is under the room to get to the steepil, and we finally gained access to it, there were these huge computer like things standing on a metal crate making a lot of fan noise. I assume that they are connected to those cell phone antennas, because my church has those in the steepil because cellphone companies pay them to have them there. Its the highest point of town i guess..

Are these computers? or like transformers? or what?

Thanks

A cell site is a site where antennas and electronic communications equipment are placed to create a cell in a cellular network for the use of mobile phones. A cell site is composed of a tower or other elevated structure for mounting antennas, and one or more sets of transmitter/receivers transceivers, digital signal processors, control electronics, a GPS receiver for timing (for CDMA2000 or IS-95 systems), regular and backup electrical power sources, and sheltering.

www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org OVER five billion people use cell phones today. We are immersed in a sea of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) generated by electrical and wireless devices in our homes, offices, schools, cars, restaurants – just about everywhere. In Pegeia, as elsewhere in Cyprus, more and more cell phone antennas are popping up in neighbourhoods. Along with this mushrooming of antennas, public reaction is starting to grow too. The recent furore over the new antennas installed in the occupied north, near the British Bases in Dhekelia, has missed the point. Aside from flexing its muscles as an occupying power, Turkey is doing what happens in every community, as industry and government dismiss concerns about a lack of research on long-term exposure and the laxity of regulations. There are dangers over possible health effects of this massive human experiment, without due care for the precautionary principle, which has been adopted in Europe. This principle calls for care when there is insufficient scientific evidence to prove public safety. The example of inadequate regulation of cell phones is not the first time the public has been subjected to a biological experiment without informed consent. To understand how “electrosmog” has developed, there is a revealing study, published by the Canadian Government’s National Research Council last November*. This 26-page, peer-reviewed scientific report details concerns for public safety and suggests that we …
