I keep hearing about so-called cellphone "boosters" being available on

Are these the "cradle mounts" that act as battery chargers and external
antennas for ordinary cellphones in the car -- which have been available
for many years -- or are they separate electronic gadgets that produce
some miraculous king of super signal?

Several years ago I bought a booster from Powertec, a company in
Austrailia. I figured, those guys have long distances to cross, maybe
it works.

And it did. I was very happy with it. It also used 12v power, thought
I could also have purchased a 120v adapter. It plugged between the
phone and my wilson antena. In places where others got no bars of
service, I got 5 bars of service.

Over the years, though, Verizon Wireless has improved their service so
much that I seldom use it now. It still works at the Slabs, where the
service is terrible. It is supposed to work only on digital, but it
seemed to improve even analog signals.

Their web page is powertec.com.au'

I gave them a cc number, they fedex'ed it to me in 4 days.
