In the downstairs of the house, I get 0-1 bar of cell phone strength, and the sound gets flakey if I move the phone while I&#8217;m talking. With the antenna, I get 1-3 bars and it doesn&#8217;t get flakey. Of course, I now have a 2&#8242; antenna in the corner of the room and a wire going from my phone to the antenna&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>The Jabra bluetooth thingy is great. Sound quality is very good, wearability is excellent, it never cuts out, it&#8217;s convenient. I&#8217;ve had a little bit of trouble figuring out where the sound is going to go to: the handset or the earpiece. Maybe that was user error.. maybe. Carrying 2 items instead of 1 is a little bit of a bother. It takes a few seconds to put the earpiece on so when a call comes in, I have to scurry to find the earpiece. But hey. Maybe when I become fully assimilated, I&#8217;ll just leave the earpiece in all the time. I&#8217;d recommend it. Especially since I got mine for free with my bluetooth enabled phone. I hear these things retail for $100.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got a cell phone about a month ago with Jabra Freespeak bluetooth earpiece&#8230; I also got an antenna so I could get reception in my basement bedroom.
