Samsung VI660 antenna

I have a samsung VI660, in a friend of mine's house I don't get very
good reception at all (calls droppped constantly, around 1 bar
reception) Outside is a little better but not much. Is there any way
to get a plug-in antenna for this phone, or even to build one myself,
like the pringles cantenna? I do second guess myself about this phone
and wonder if I should have picked the more expensive nokia one. Does
the reception differ that much between phones?

Thanks for any help

Mine works fine. Where are you located?

It's the sacramento area, it's just one spot where it doesn't work
great, so I was wondering if an antenna would help in that spot or if
it wouldn't matter.

Thanks

ah, sorry, I can't comment on the coverage up there, don't know whether
another antenna would help or not - but if you only have problems in one
spot, I don't know whether it'd be worth it...
