I've been trying to fit a cell signal amplifier in my budget for a while now but before I pull the trigger on everything I remembered I have a Cb antenna in my shop from my old truck. Would that work or should I get the smaller magnetic antenna I see pictured with the amplifier?

The Cb antenna is much larger but not sure if it would pick up the proper frequency. Definitely a newb to this.

You could probably receive something with a cb antenna or a random length of un-bent coat hanger, but if you want it to transmit at all you will want an antenna that is designed to be resonant on that specific frequency. CB is +/- 27 MHz, a far cry from any cell phone frequencies.
