Cellular booster

[NickTheGreat]

I did some checking and this is what we use

Amazon.com: zBoost YX-510 Cell Phone Signal Booster Dual-Band Unit for Home or Office: Cell Phones & Accessories

Our setup ended up costing around $500-$700 because we used two high gain (not the standard) antannea and pointed them at the appropriate carriers' towers.

It works very well.

We've used things like that at job sites before and they worked really well :smile:

To add a little to my previous comment now that I have some time, I think I paid $200 for the network extender but there was a $100 rebate, IIRC.

Basically, as long as your wifi is working, you'll have a crystal clear in your house.

The only problem you can encounter, is that you are not able to switch from the extender to regular service during a call. So if you're on your phone and are leaving your house, you will drop the call as you leave the extender's range, and have to call the person back when you switch over to cell coverage.

Thought I would follow up.

Got the Network Extender for Verizon and it works great. Before had no bars and calls would get dropped most of the time. Now have 4 bars and quality is great. Range is good too, even works outside of the house up to 30 yds. 3G service is better as well.

Set up was a snap. Took about 30 mins to get the unit booted up and connected to the system. Actual time spent to set it up was only 10 mins.
