Mobile Phone Signal Booster

Hi.
I'm after a signal booster to go in my car so I can get 3 signal on my iphone as vodafone signal is rubbish.

Any suggestions?

Don't know about after market but my OEM car kit accesses the phone sim using remote sim access and the car's aerial with an obvious imorovement in signal in rural areas in particular. Had to change my iphone to do it. Calls and texts then go through the car, data for the phone is from the wifi hotspot made by the car with the data coming from the sim in the phone. Works really well and if the aftermarket do it I would recommend with a RSAP compatible phone.

They do them for campers; I assume they'd work in a car too?

Just be careful of what you buy, some of these "signal boosters" are actually illegal to use but legal to buy, its a bit of a mine field when doing so.
