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.

Snake oil

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.
