I don't know, but my own opinion is that if they provided such boost, phone manufacturers would use it in every phone and get rid of the antennas.
Also, for antenna to work, it has to be connected to the... phone receiver, and these are only stickers which are more like radio shield.
And again, if they worked, the engineers which are actually getting paid for making much more sofisticated electronics would have used them...
I trust more an educated engineer rather than telemarketing....
Just my 2 cents...

Through all of my research and technical experimentation I personally found that the antenna boosters bring down the reception. For the company I work for we highly discourage the use of the antenna boosters. Trust me, if the manufacturers made a mistake or found ways to "boost reception" Im pretty sure they would have made something similar to the "Sticker." Personally the only thing that worked with me is the "internal antenna booster." But you have to know how to solder and use the right size cooper extention to achieve this.

i know that one worked on my lg 4400, but i also am positive that Verizon's warranties are completely voided if they find one on your phone because it draws additional power/whatever the terminology the tech used is drawn through the phone.
just what i know.
