I was told it wouldn't boost the signal coming from the tower any more than it is.

This is true, but... The extender has a much better antenna than your phone does (more gain) and therefore can do much more with a weak tower signal. I was trying to explain this to my brother a few days ago, but couldn't get my head around the proper answer. I hope (for my sake!) that I have now!
I was thinking about also having some fun with various cheap 'dishes' (aka woks, BBQ covers, fan shrouds, etc) in order to directionally enhance the 'main' or 'exterior' antenna and possibly also the 'interior' antenna.

Thanks for the replies!
