Thanks so much for your help!

You really should post that in a new Thread on our Cingular Subforum, there are many of us willing to answer that for you that don't get the time to read the welcome thread much, but to answer your question, yes there is, if you don't mind running a cable from your cellphone to an outside antenna. Otherwise a repeater is in the 300 to 400 dollar range and there's a few small hoops you'll have to jump through to get one.

Angry Re: Wilson cell phone antenna damaged my Razr

Hi everyone, This is my 1st post. I just had to get a replacement for my T-Mobile Motorola RAZR V3 because after hooking it up to a Wilson cell phone antenna I couldn't get signal anymore without it even in normally 4-5 bar areas.
After a couple weeks it wouldn't work with or without the antenna.
I'm afraid to mess up my replacement phone by trying it again. Any advice?

P.S.
BTW I noticed that I'm not the only one with this problem. Anyone found any REAL helpful advice besides the ridiculous idea of unplugging the adapter quickly?

Don't do it again. O.o the amplifiers are dangerous.

Unhappy Re: Don't do it again?

I wasn't using an amp, just an antenna.

G-Day everyone. I am new here, and am a former Business Sales Manager with Sprint PCS that was laid off with another 10999 in 2002 after Several years in this business. I just came across this site from searching the web about starting my own wireless store/business sales business. Looks like a very good variety of information. It's still in the blood...

I look forward to visiting this site on a daily basis for news and information.

Later...

Lol! I was wondering that myself. I have to get all of my phone numbers off of it first. I was thinking about keeping it around. Kind of sad to see it go.
Who knows, maybe it will be worth something someday... Of course, I said the same thing about my 386 in the garage.

And thanks for the welcome.

We have a sub-forum for just those kind of issues, http://forums.wirelessadvisor.com/razr-phones/ is the link, or you can go to the main tree and click the Verizon Sub-Forum "Razr Related" it's also the same subforum under Motorola. Someone will gladly help you, there and to Wireless Advisor

This looks like a great site. We are new to Verizon and to the Razr. Hope to find out how to have it vibrate and ring.

Hello all:

I work in the industry developing cellular sites. I found this site during a Google search, and also found a few questions about tower-siting here in the forums.

Basically, wireless companies provide me with a search area (commonly called a searc
