Cell Signal Booster

[srennier]

I'm looking for a cell signal booster for my travel trailer which does the following:

• Easy to use
• Supports AT&T 4G/LTE
• Handles multiple users
• Works without aiming an antenna
• Costs less than $300

Thanks!

What are you shocked about??? If you are to far from the cell tower to receive a signal, nothing will work. But you could be to far from the tower for you phone to work, but if you can amplify that signal with out amplifying the background noise, you can receive the signal and use it. But many don't have a clue.

I have a Wilson Sleek for my Verizon cell phone. Very happy with it. Having said that, I have been in places like Langtry Tx where there was no signal. Don't know if AT&T has a signal there either. Not much of anything there except Judge Roy Bean's West of the Pecos Courthouse and Saloon (the real original one). No cell or TV at all - nothing! If there is no RF signal, your booster will not create one and you will not have service.

In parts of south and west Texas, there is NO Verizon service and there is no roaming allowed by AT&T to their competitors in the oil fields. AT&T does have service in both the areas Pat mentioned, but that is the exception to most of the US, where the 2 giants normally help each other.

It will only work with one cell phone at a time. You can use it with you MiFi Hot Spot, which will allow up to 10 Wifi users.

I have gone one step further using the WILSON SLEEK.

This is my VERIZON MIFI Docking Station in my trailer which is a WIFI HOTSPOT account.

This uses the WILSON SLEEK for helping pickup the VERIZON CELL SIGNAL and also allows my MIFI UNIT to have a larger coverage area around my trailer.

Using the MIFI unit frees up your cell phone to create a good WIFI HOTSPOT. My MIFI unit connects to five WIFI enabled devices...

Works great for us all over the East side of the US where we go the most.

We use the 3GB grandfathered in account for checking emails, checking in with the kids, paying a few bills online and some surfing the net.

The 3GB of data of course is not a large enough dataplan to downstream any TV stations or videoes. If you want to get into that then the MILLENICOM 20GB MIFI PLAN that uses the Verizon Network will work great for that.

I purchased one Wilson sleek for our ATT 4g/LTE service. It worked so well, I purchased a second one for use in the bedroom.

They really work, Did I say they work.

Both Wilsons came in around the $250 range.

Even if we are in an area with 4 bars I use one wilson in the living room mounted next to the sofa, holds the phone great, powered by the laptop and the phone is charged from the laptop. Convenient.

Boosts the 4 bar signal to 5 bars, great for a Hotspot access.

In a fringe fluctuating signal area, boosted signal to 3 and sometimes 4 bars. Was able to use data for Hotspot access as well.

We use the booster and hotspot for 2 laptops, another smartphone and samsung tablet.

The only downside in a low signal area is calls are made using the speakerphone. For us that works great for kids and grandkids when they call. We both can hear what all are saying.

For the second sleek I purchased the 12" antenna, but the 4" ones worked well. I attach the antennas to the inside windows, which works in an area with a steady signal. However, in low signal area, I had to attach the antenna to the top of the MH to get an adequate signal. The antennas come with suction cups, which work. On the roof, I used removable two sided tape on top of the satellite dome. The antenna cord is long enough to reach the center of the MH roof.

The sleeks made a believer out of me. A good product for us.

Wilson Sleek 4G-A, is what you are looking for. We have the Verizon model and it works awesome. You can add a larger Omni directional antenna if you wish for just a few dollars more.
