Cell phone signal booster advice needed

Try Wilson.

Except Wilson is now called something else.

https://www.weboost.com/

While moving it standing still? Wilson is now called Weboost. They have a few models that would work. Your best option would be to call them. The multi device setups are usually good to 4 devices.

If you want a solid signal and data speeds, and don't want to be tied down to staying within 2-3 ft of the inside antenna, check out the Max-Amp RV from Maximum Signal. We get a good signal boost to all of our cell devices anywhere in our 34' motorhome with ours. We've also gotten solid signals with good data speeds in a number of areas where the Verizon coverage maps shows no service, and even our previous Wilson/WeBoost 4G-M was of little or no help.

There is a new brand developed by an engineer who is very active in the RV community - getting great reviews and testing results. Apparently, it doesn't suffer from many of the issues and constraints of offerings from other companies. It also complies with the new FCC regulations recently enacted. There has been quite a bit of discussion about it over on RV-Dreams.com.

my son bought the smooth talker and absolutely loves it.

I have the one made by Wilson, bought it in 2011, it boosts up to 4 phones, even boosted my air-card for internet. I have Verizon, there are a few areas along the coast with spotty coverage, this fixed it for me.

I just RETURNED the WeBoost LTE to Wilson, as it did NOT work as advertised. Find something else.

Howdy!

X2 for Maximunm Signal it cost more but you get what you pay for.

I know this is an old thread, but to bring it up to date, Jack Mayer, a 16 year veteran fulltimer well known for his extensive experience and knowledge of RV'er communications needs posted his current experience using a Maximum Signal Max Amp booster on the Escapees Forum:

User Experience. Consider this somewhat anecdotal.

I'm currently in SE KS out in the "hinterlands". Without assistance there is only 3G data here, and the phone barely works. That is a good phone (Note 5). Lesser phones do not work at all.

I set up the Mobile amp as a "house" amp (I'm staying in a house). The 13" mag mount antenna in a window on the "tower side" (on a pizza plate). The Super maxx is on top of the kitchen refrigerator at the front edge. That gives me an average of 18 dbi of gain. It takes data speeds from 2 kbps (note the K) on 3G to an average of 3.8 MBPS. That is not screaming, but the tower is deficient to start with, since speeds near it are only around 5-6 MBPS.

Why do I only see so little gain? The way these amps work, after hundreds of tests, is that the gain bounces. It will crank the gain up, and then adjust it down until the connection is solid. Or at least that seems to be the way it works, empirically. The weBoost -M with its provided antennas averages speeds of 1.85 MBPS. So I'd say the the Maxamp handily outperforms the weBoost in THIS set of circumstances, which I would call "challenging". To be fair, I have seen the weBoost outperform the Max in other circumstances. Mostly when it is closer to the towers. Id say the Max performs best when really challenged.

In a follow-up post, Jack mentions that he is 10 miles from the nearest tower.
