There are some pretty signal boosters available in market which can only boost or amplify weak signal. But these products can’t bring unavailable towers.
You can buy external antenna for this purpose but this antenna is a cheap replacement of that. You can use a stick aerial for this purpose and I’ve tested that it’s better than that.
The setup in my house brought international signals from 5KM far tower. You need to locate the external antenna connecting point in your mobile.
In most mobiles, it’s below battery battery compartment or in backside of mobile. Connect an aerial antenna with it and be sure it’s ground isolated. If the antenna is somehow connected to ground, it will not function properly. place the antenna in outdoor and use a wire to bring the connection to room.

Note: Provide a cover on antenna as you are placing it outdoor, it may get electrical charge from environment which is harmful for your phone.

thankx arup. but do i need those circuit components like the previous one.

May 31st, 2011 at 10:32 pmNo. Just find the external antenna connector pin, and fix a wire using a thin pin and connect the other end of wire to stick antenna. -

i admire your work…sir can u please tell me how to boost tata photon+ signal, its really weak here, if you could tell me how to boost my tata photon+ internet signal i would be very happy
Arup Reply:
August 11th, 2011 at 1:28 pmThe approach I told will work in any GSM/CDMA phones and also in modems. You need to open the cover and find an antenna connector in the circuit board. The connector looks like the golden color tip I shown. With help of an soldering expert, solder a thin wire to the mid pin of the antenna connector and then attach an stick antenna there and keep the antenna untouched to ground, or anything. Even cover the whole antenna by dry plastic cover. You can use cellotapes too. -

okay…so whats the opening with the rubber cover at the side? i thought that maybe if we connect a copper wire to it and again connect the wire with an antenna might boost the signal…haha
Arup Reply:
August 18th, 2011 at 3:51 pmYeah sure. 99% chance the antenna connector is beneath the rubber cap.prashant Reply:
November 14th, 2011 at 5:28 pmhey what is the price of that Mobile signal booster. where i will gets it ? i m from mumbai!!Arup Reply:
November 15th, 2011 at 6:03 amYou need to buy an telescopic antenna which costs max 20-30Rs.
arundev says
i need your help
pls send circuit diagram of mobile signal booster and also send how make a mobilesignal booster
Arup says
No circuit needed. Read what I've told above.
shubham says
ok
sir thanx a lot one more thing where is antenna connector in mobile
and my antennaa should be covered with cello tape so to avoid earthing
and antenna is to be connected with antenna socket then solder and how to connect it with antenna in my mobile
shubham says
no external antenna in mobile what to do
Arup says
There must be an connector. Dare to open the mobile to expose the PCB. You'll see one connector like the one I showed up here.
jithu says
can u please send the circuit diag and other data
Rahul Deb says
can i use this booster in my Nokia 2600 phone ?
Arup says
Yes. Of course.
zahed says
hai. Pls give me clarification that the connecter in the mobile has two terminals or a single terminals. If two terminals, if we connect the one terminal to the stick antenna, what abt other?
Arup says
The body (outer ring) is ground and no need to connect it to anywhere. yo just ne4ed to hook on the inner pin that's antenna pin.
shubham says
sir
according to u i just need a telescpic antenna and solder it to wire and put that antenaa outside where is signal available and bring other side of wire whare signal is nt available. and solder other end wid antenna too
if i misunderstood plz reply
plz help
sir
plz give ur no
Arup says
Yes, you just need to attach a telescopic antenna to the antenna socket.
shubham says
sir above in tata photon reply u have menrion circuit board sir plz tell what to do or give me ur no
Arup says
Contact me through contact page.
shubham says
sir first end is to be connected with antenna and what to do with other side sir please help plz explain it or show the diagram
Arup says
First end of a wire is connected to telescopic antenna and second end is connected to the external antenna connector in your mobile.
shubham says
where is external antenna connector?
Arup says
In the PCB of your mobile.
shubham says
sir i made a alarm in that a chip with black dot is used what is that called ?
Arup says
That's called a Chip-On-Board or COB.
shubham says
sir ji really thanx 2u
shubham says
thanx 4 answering my all question
shubham says
guruji how to identify emiter base collector of a transistor
Arup says
Nice question. And here's the nice answer: http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/components/tran.htm
chris says
without openin ma mob s there s any other way to boost up ma signal?w
Arup says
Yes, but those ways are too costly. You may find antenna connector right below your mobile battery.
karan says
sir
there is less mobile netwrk in ma home.
how can i improve mobile signls in ma home...
i dnt wnt to open pcb of cell...
is any other way i can improve signal strenght of cell phnes ?
Arup says
The other way is too much costly, so this external antenna tip works best.
See this booster can give signals away from 50 miles. http://www.amitbhawani.com/blog/cell-phone-signal-boosters/
saby says
I read all these but could not understand one thing, i.e. after connecting a wire to the mobile phone antenna connector, is the wire to be taped and kept when i use it out side the home where signal is strong enough from the tower.
Arup says
Yes.
Amarnath N says
Arup,
A video presentation would be more helpful about the booster you've mentioned. People are really confused...that's why the thread is going lengthy.
Expecting your valuable video explanation.
Thanks,
Amarnath N.
Arup says
Thanks
I probably need to do that.
prashant says
How to find antenna connector in EVDO?
Arup says
Probably inside modem.
rajasekaran says
i wand gsm signal booster , r u develop the nte107 transistor to signal booster for gsm
pls replay me my mail address
thank u
Arup says
No.
