Funny thing about cell phones - GoFuckYourself.com

UnseenWorld · 03-05-2003, 05:38 PM

I've been using cell phones for years, and every phone has had a display showing signal strength, and not once have I seen the signal get stronger when I pulled out the antenna.

Have you ever seen the signal get stronger when you pull out the antenna on your phone?

Do you think it's just there for psychological reasons or for appearance, like the spoilers on cars that really can't go fast to benefit from one?

Same for me...so I guess the antenna is in fact, just a psychological things!

My older phone had an antenna and not once I could see a change in the signal strength when I pulled it out

BrettJ · 03-05-2003, 06:21 PM

how old is your cell phone - i haven't seen an extendable antenna in ages

BluMedia · 03-05-2003, 06:22 PM

The antenna is just so all those microwaves do do through your head.

If you got a multiband phone with analog you might see a difference when in analog mode, other then that I bet its all bullshit.

ServerGenius · 03-05-2003, 06:33 PM

I read that using a cell phone fries your brain and increases your risk of getting cancer!

I was using one of those digital color Samsung phones... The little dinky antenna actually made a difference.

iroc409 · 03-05-2003, 07:24 PM

yeah, i'm in the habit of not using the antenna, unless the signal is horrifyingly shitty.

But no shit, I have a Nextel I 1000 and when I know several places where the antenna being extended will make the difference in even connecting to the network. Unless you are in a fringe area you will probably never notice.

If you don't use your antenna your transmitting the signal in a different pattern near your head. Still a lot of debate on this. The newer phones are safer than the original phones.

So, what are you saying? That it's safer with the antenna or without?
