Do they really work.

I have seen the brainiac test where they did test it, but to now success, but that was with an old nokia 5110 or whatever they were called.

Do they make any difference in quality or signal strength?

I've tried a few, none have ever yielded any great results. The best signal booster you can get is a fully installed car kit, with cradle and external antenna, you can gain around 10dB on your recieved signal strength.. but it's hardly handy for the house eh? The best signal booster I've found for home use is standing on a chair, on one leg holding your phone at a jaunty angle. ;)

I've certainly never ever known them to work. Just a gimmick I think!

Generally used as a freebie to get you to sign up for a scam.

Best avoided.

I really thinks that they are making huge difference in signal strength that some high range and capacity signal boosters are well for our communication because you may be never face any trouble like bad or low signal with some proper signal booster. It doesn't matter whatever your phone is but you can get better signal strength with powerful signal boosters.

I have never heard about these working before, but do want some information on them as there is a capacity of network of a provider, how is it possible we receive better connectivity?
