Cell Phone signal enhancer

[fiveohpatrol]

Has anyone tried (or know someone who's tried) that thing from the infomercials that you put between the battery and the phone on your cell phone. It says it dramatically enhances your signal. But I know that most infomercials stretch the truth to the point where its basically a flat out lie.

I need something to get me a better signal, because my cell is based in indianapolis and I go to school in Terre Haute, which is covered on the map, but it doesnt get a strong enough signal out here for me to be able to use my cell in my apartment. I dont have long distance on my apartment phone, and my cell has free nationwide longdistance, so thats why I got it, but if I have to go outside to use it, its kinda pointelss.

Anyone tried this thing? its really not very expensive, but I dont wanna waste my money if it's junk, thanks guys
