Cell phone antennas have changed in many ways over the years since cell phones were first introduced. When first introduced, cell phones needed to have external antennas to be able to pick up signals from service towers. However, over time external antennas seemed somewhat out of fashion, so as cell phone designs evolved the external antenna became an internal antenna. Although many internal antennas work very well, there have been some problems concerning signal reception. Generally speaking, although external antennas are out of style and can make your phone feel somewhat bulky, external antennas are still one of the most practical ways to have your cell phone receive a good, strong signal.
