What is best and cheapest, I have ATT 3g and my city wont allow the
antennas needed so I often drop connection and go to non 3g at 1-2 bar
with a new phone. My city doesnt want the "eyesore" of more antennas.- Hide quoted text -

theres a federal law permitting tv and satellite dish antennas, a yagi
cell antenna should fall in that law.

yagi cell antenna looks very close to a UHF tv antenna

Doesnt an antenna need some type of box or booster for cell phones.
How does this get hooked up and operate, a tv you plug into an
antenna, but a cell phone is being boosted so I would guess a reciever
is needed.

all cell phones have built in antennas and most cell phones have a
jack covered with rubber plug to connect a external antenna.like this

I have done this in the past with great success.

although a booster a receiver with boosted output is nicer, it
elminates being tied to a cord.

ine friend had a home with no cell service, i took the antenna inside,
put in on the table, plugged it in and instant 5 bars she sat it on
top of a cabinet and never did mount it outdoors
