Where do I connect an antenna to my phone?

Where do I connect an antenna to my phone?
Many of today's cellular and digital PCS phones are equipped with RF ports which enable you to connect an external antenna to your phone. RF ports may be located on the back, bottom, top or side of your cell phone. Unfortunately some phones have no port that would enable to attach an external antenna to.

External antenna adapters connect to cell phones in a variety a ways. Here are some examples.
