Replacement antenna for v551 do the extenders work?


I have managed to lose my little stubby antenna for my v551. There
appear to be a number of replacements available, some of which extend.

Are there any antennas out there that actually improve reception? If
so, I would be grateful for suggestions.

Thanks
Molly

Re: Replacement antenna for v551 do the extenders work?


I have a horizontal case so I had to order a bunch of these antennae.
Cellphoneshop.com had good prices and I ordered the stubby and several
different extendables. NONE OF THEM FIT MY PHONE.

The thread sizes were too small. I contacted them and they told me if
I shipped them back to Hong Kong, they would refund my $9 or so. Yeah.
I'm gonna do that.

At any rate, I haven't managed to get an extendable that would fit.
I'll keep watching this space and, if you find some, let me know how
they work.

Just wanted to warn you about cellphoneshop.com

I went here http://www.cellphoneshop.net/grsitrreanfo33.html and did
notice increased signal. I have had no problems. Ordered several
antennas, new battery and software for my 551. Now the software sucks,
it does work but is flaky. I had to email customer service about the
external antenna http://www.cellphoneshop.net/exanformov5v.html and they
solved the problem.

I replaced the stock antenna on two v551 phones with the extendable
antennas from cellphoneshop and both show improved redception.

Thanks for the info about the extendable antenna. What was the problem
with the external antenna that you had?

Thanks

$10? $1.50? Yikes.

I'll have to buy a few of each to hit the free shipping at $30. ;-)
Oh, they have lots of lovely gadgets. I think I'll go shopping.
