Back in 2004, we had to go to the pay phones at the valley campgrounds to check daily on my DW's mother. In 2006, we bought a Wilson cell booster and were able to get limited service on AT&T. By 2009, we were able to get limited service on Verizon and 2013 we were getting data too. We could make and receive calls on our Verizon cellphones, get email and slow internet service.
Now, with iPhones, we can't use it at all during the day and evening. We were able to make 2 calls that actually got thru over the 4 day period trying very early in the morning. Texting worked but was delayed 2-4 hours to get delivered. No internet at all.
Is it because we are using Verizon and Iphone 4 and 5C (no Wilson booster for new phones)? It was showing 3 bars and calls failed. I switched off my LTE setting and eventually set it on Airplane mode as it drained the battery very quickly searching.
Do we need to switch back to AT&T or another carrier or get a new booster to handle the iPhones?
Also, they have removed most of the phones because everyone has a cellphone. I hope 911 works there for emergencies.
Is there a reason your original Wilson can't work with the Iphone? Was your old phone a hard connection to the booster? Can you upgrade the inside antenna to a modern proximity type? If not, the Wilson Sleek is still affordable. They did change their name to Weboost. Anything with the Weboost name will be more expensive. I have loaned my booster to various Iphone users. No complaints.
Network congestion is just bad.
