Mobile phone signal booster

Do you think this will work as I live in an area with a poor signal?

If you have some signal it might "clean" it up but I doubt if it will give signal where you have none. I would really like to be wrong as I could use one also.

Works as in "leaves you out of pocket with an item what isn't worth jack"?

This is the genuine offering to boost signal strength

So - do you reckon a sticker with a bit of metal on is going to work?

It seems at best, there is some subjective improvement, but nothing concrete. Also consider that if I take my phone to may parents, even standing still the signal strength can vary due to various factors.
