Cell phone signal booster

What do you have to boost your cell signal?

Would like to resolve the issue.

Thanks,

Tom

    Basically it's just a repeater. The booster captures weak cell signals from nearby tower, amplifies them, and retransmits them within your immediate area. The antennas aren't terribly powerful so if you're in a dead zone then they aren't going to help you obtain a signal.


    Ah.Thank you.

    I'm really not that important:)

    Think back 25 years....who had a cell phone?

    Drug dealers and CEOs.

    And that guy who sat in the back of the Limo on Charlie's Angels.

  • Off topic a little bit but if you need one for your stick house and you have Verizon, after enough complaining they will send you one for free!

    We fulltime and use a Maximum Signal to boost the cellular and data signal in our 5er.

  • We use a wilson sleek we've had for about 4 years. We are considering switching to one of their whole house boosters but haven't made the jump as the sleek does what we need.
