Improving Cell Phone Signal

I have little to no Signal where I am for the Summer. What more can I do to improve it? I installed an outside Antenna with an inside Repeater. I now get a slightly improved Signal, but I still cannot do anything. I thought about hooking up another Repeater in line with the first one. Would that help? I may also try to move the Antenna. is there a Way to use the whole Trailer as an Antenna? After all, it is Metal. Can anyone tell me what frequency is used for Cell Phone Signals?
God Bless!

My Neighbor 200 Feet away uses a Trac Phone. His Wife has At&t. They also have poor Service. I am considering the Possibility of using the entire 5th Wheel as an Antenna, using an Antenna Tuner like Hams Use to make it resonate on the correct frequency. Would this work?
God Bless!

All the neighbor's AT&T phones have service. Mine does not. Cancelling AT&T is a nightmare. Never again AT&T!

Ask Others around you what kind of service, and what carrier they are using. I bought and used a Trac-Fone (pay as you go) for use in an area that had no AT&T service, but the trac-fone had a full signal. Some of the small services provide access in areas that the biggies don't care about.

You must have AT&T like I do. Can't get a good signal or talk in the town I go to while in TN. I got 20 G of Verizon/minifi and use that while traveling along with my Tracphone.
