A range of technical products let you do a wide variety of things to and with your cellphone. Among these are the cell phone amplifiers such as the 10X Cell Phone Reception Amplifier - a very nice bit of equipment.

So what do these cell phone amplifiers do exactly? The wireless amplifier boosts your cell phone’s reception 10X by improving bi-directional signal strength, including voice calls and data streams, resulting in fewer dropped calls and interrupted data downloads, without requiring special programming.

Of special use are the amplifiers that you can plug into your car’s cigarette lighter and connect to an external antenna that magnetically attaches to your car’s exterior. This lets the amplifier increase the gain up to 50 dB, but requires no physical connection to your cell phone because it relays calls wirelessly, allowing you to continue to use a Bluetooth headset or speakerphone.
