| Where
do I connect an antenna to my phone?
Many of today's cellular and digital GSM phones are equipped with
RF ports which enable you to connect an external antenna to your
phone. RF ports may be located on the back of your phone and others
may be located at the bottom of your phone. If a phone does not
have an RF port, adapters might be made to slip over the phones
attached antenna or, for phones with internal antennas, just clip
to the phone passing the RF signal through the phone's body. |

What are some ways
to attach an antenna to my phone?
A few phones (such as Motorola Bag Phones) come equipped with a standard
connector. Nothing else is needed. However, most phone RF connectors
are not standard so they require an adapter. |

What if my phone
doesn't have a standard connector?
There are installable hands free kits that come with antenna adapters
that will fit one of these standard antennas. There are also External
Antenna Adapters (or RF Adapters) that allow you to attach an antenna
directly to your phone. This type of adapter is usually a short thin
wire with a connector to your phone on one end and a standard antenna
connector (TNC Female,
Mini-UHF Female or
FME Male) on the other.
