None of my phones have a external antenna connector and none that I have had for many years have.

So how you you connect it to your phone?

You don't you connect it to an amplifying cradle or signal booster then use phone as normal.

the external antenna connects to the booster inside ur boat or car & then the booster then connects to an internal antenna inside ur boat or car then all cell ph users ph,s can connect to it just like a normal cell ph tower ur cell ph just connects to the inner antenna,s boosted signal , no connection required from the inner antenna

PS I,M told on extreme week signal issue,s u may have to Velcro the inner antenna to the back of ur cell ph !
