cell phone signal booster

Question

This is not strictly an RV question, although my TT is parked here at my home and I will be using my phone in it too :).

Here is the issue. I have Straight Talk cell service using Verizon towers. I live on a barrier island so no towers on one side at all ( ocean ). Very weak cell signal. I can drive off the island and all is well. At home it is hit or miss. A lot of times I have to step outside to carry on a conversation.

Is there a signal booster that would help without breaking the bank? Recommendations on the best one for the money would be helpful.

thanks in advance

Wilson Sleek is what we use.

I have a sleek, but for a 'house' on an island
I would go with one of the small house business units
That covers xx sq ft...comes with two antennas and the amplifier unit
Exterior antenna goes 25 ft into the air inside antenna goes as centrally located as possible, cost around $300
Lookup WeBoost , the name for Wilson amplifies

We had weak signal until our neighbor bought a amp. He fixed the whole neighborhood

Installed a home amplifier from WeBoost that we got from Powerful Signal.  Now the cell signal is better (by about 30 dBi) in our house than it is outside.  I think we paid about $500 for it, but I really don't remember for sure.

Thanks folks, now for some research. Or maybe I can talk my neighbor into buying one :).
