    Yes. There's no guarantee that it will work, though there is a fairly good chance it will. Expect to pay about €100 for a high gain UMTS antenna and pigtail.

    Very handy for car or train where window might block signal

    Basically a 3G compatible car kit external aerial will work. Not GSM only car kit as that is a different wave band.
