Has anybody tried one? If so, do they work?

My guess is that they don't work. Just a way go get $10 off people.

Sorta...
Phone companies would include them in the design if they worked...(Cell phone co representative when I asked).

Yes they do...remember, the phone companies charge for roaming, and they must comply with FCC regulations concerning both reception and broadcast signal strength for handheld devices....(Radio tech, where I work)...

fer 10 bucks, test and report....
