I have noticed several posts, over time, that refer to vehicular mounted Telephone aerials.
To what are they referring, and on what type of phones do they work.
Are talking satellite OR Telstra type mobiles.
I am most anxious to understand, just in case I might be needing one soon.
Many Thanks, KB

Hi Keiron they ideally have a coax from the antenna to a patch lead which screws into the back of most Samsung phones and many others. If you have a phone without a patch lead port you can put your phone in a dedicated cradle. If you have 1 bar reception an extension antenna will give you 2-3 bars , so it increases reception far beyond the phone only.

Hi Keiron. We have a Telstra marine aerial on both our van and the 4wd. Using a patch lead which hides in the glove box, we can plug in eather our Telstra phone or our Telstra WIFI. We have had added coverage in a lot of places where you would normally not have any.

we have 3 nob phones - two are on cheap (other than the Bosses, as she yaps a lot to friends and family each day) from Optus and we also have a Telstra 4G phone which we seldom use, and have on a pre-paid (which we pay just enough on to keep the number active). It is a "rural" phone and has a plug in for its cradle and that is attached to an external, nudge bar mounted 2 metre aerial. It means when our cheaper Optus phones don't work, we can probably get reception in most areas through the Telstra phone. We check the credit on line regularly (it expires every 2 mnths) and just re-new it. It means we can phone family, friends, or emergency serices wherever there is mobile ph service. If you go into non-metro areas, you need to go with Telstra - they have the biggest national covereage (even though theyre the dearest)
