Types of adapters...
There are four categories of adapters:
| Plug-in Adapters... | |
  |
This type of adapter plugs straight into the antenna port on the back of the phone, and provides a cable connection to the antenna. |
| Clip-on Adapters... | |
  |
|
| Velcro Adapters... | |
 |
This adapter is two-piece, one piece is a velcro pad which sticks onto the back of the phone over the internal antenna. The second piece is the adapter itself, which has velcro over the inductive plate, so it can be easily removed, and has a lead so it can be connected to an external antenna. |
| USB Large Velcro Adapters... | |
 |
This adapter is a larger variant of the standard Velcro adapter. It is designed to be used on larger Smartphones, such as the Blackberry handsets and Apple iPhone, or on the USB modems which are supplied in the UK. |
Email us before you purchase a new handset to check that there is a working adapter for the phone you would like.

Other Phones
We have only listed the phones which we sell most adapters of, we have got many more adapters for other makes and models of phones such. If unsure about an adapter or need some advice before purchasing a new phone please call us.
Sony Ericsson Handsets
Sony Ericsson handsets are very tricky for us to supply adapters for because they insist on changing the sockets on nearly every handset. However, many customers have experimented with using our Velcro adapter on a variety of new SE phones and have been succesful. If you have a SE handset and wish to purchase a Velcro adapter for trial then you may do so, and if it does not work we will offer a partial refund as per our Terms & Conditions.
We have working adapters for the following older models of Ericsson and Sony Ericsson phones: T68i, R320, T39, T30, T29, Z500, Z600.
Handsets to avoid...
The following are handsets which we do not support, contact us for further details or to discuss alternatives.
HTC Armetis
This newer HTC phone, currently sold as the XDA Orbit and T-Mobile MDA Compact III, is unsupported, we may be able to offer something in the future, but at the moment it is a handset to avoid.HTC Universal
This phone and its variants are not supported, the antenna socket is known to be faulty and causes the phone to crash, and in some cases causes permanent damage to the motherboard of the phone. This phone was sold under many different names, some of the most popular versions were: XDA Exec, T-Mobile Pro, i-Mate JasJar.Sony Ericssons
We cannot recommend any current Sony Ericsson handset, they seem to put different sockets on each handset they release. We have some adapters available for older SE models such as the T610 and K700i.USB Dongle Modems
We cannot supply any adapters for the smaller USB Dongle Modems which Vodafone began selling at the start of 2008. If possible please try to get the Huawei USB Modem instead.
Data Card adapters...
Data cards have become very popular as they are the simplest way to connect to the Internet while on the move. Unfortunately because the card is kept inside the card slot on the laptop it is very hard to get a usable reception without an antenna.
The following are details of data cards which we can supply adapters for:
