Here are some thoughts on internal and external cell phone antennas. Is it true that external antennas pick up and retain a better signal than internal antennas? I was just wondering about the strength and quality of the signal on the phone, that’s all.

Well, the thing is, the technology has come so far that we no longer need the old antennas that the old Nokia used. An internal antenna would work just as well as an external antenna, which, however, means that you are buying a good phone model and not a really cheap model.

A Motorola V3x has an internal antenna, which works wonderfully well. I don’t even have a problem with reception, which is amazing!

I feel like an internal antenna is superior to the external antenna on wireless devices. An external antenna can easily break or crack and then your phone is basically useless or should I say ruined. Many of the manufacturers have now moved to internal antennas and the devices are much better than the old external antenna devices. Looking at today’s devices, Samsung and LG phones still seem to have external antennas and Motorola devices are now all internal.

Nokia and Sony devices also have internal antennas. All PDAs now have internal antennas, including the newer Treos. The sound quality is based on the phone model itself, but when it comes to getting and retaining signal strength, I think you will find that phones with internal antennas, such as the Razr, several of the Sony models, and PDAs are better than those. devices with external antennas.

I have looked for several external antennas for my cell phone. (I have a Motorola V120) I noticed that the antenna had a smaller coaxial cable. My question is, would it be possible to connect my cell phone to the TV antenna or would this be a problem? I can’t pick up anything where I live. There are main power lines not far from my house. I think that prevents me from receiving a signal. If this doesn’t work, will the other external cell phone antennas do anything?

Televisions operate in a different frequency range than mobile phones, so connecting them to a television antenna will not improve your signal. If you have absolutely no signal at home and you have to travel a distance before receiving a signal, the prospects are bleak. If you have any kind of signal outside your home, an external antenna should help. In addition to an external antenna, an in-line amplifier would further strengthen your signal.

I have an LG phone that uses Verizon service. Inside or outside my house, my signal varies from 1 to 4 in intensity, even when I am perfectly still. I don’t think the little flat antenna amplifiers that go behind the battery are working. I mean, my calls are dropping like flies. It’s ridiculous!

My advice is that you try to make a * 228 (send) option 2 on your phone. You should consider doing it once a month to update the latest tower list. However, if that doesn’t work, then you should consider buying an antenna that works with your phone. The only thing is that the antenna should be connected.
