All,
Someone recently asked me how our cellphones work inside of our shopdominium? Not at all until we added a cellphone booster. The device, from Amazon, is called an Amazboost. It is made by the preeminent cellphone booster company on the planet (Wilson Electronics) and we went from no connection at all to a great connection. If you haven’t looked at them recently, these are not your father’s cellphone booster. You formerly had to get a booster that was on the frequency of your cellphone/carrier. These new ones are multifrequency and it matters not to it if you are AT&T, T-Mobile, whatever. And the prices. WOW! They were $250 a couple of years ago, but yesterday when I looked I found it for $99. If you are interested here is the link Amazboost Cell Phone Booster for Home, Cell Phone Signal Booster Kit, All U.S. Carriers – Compatible with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint & More-5G 4G LTE 3G FCC Approved. It does indicate that it is marked down from $129.99 to $99.99 and that is the cheapest price in the last 30 days, so I don’t know if it will stay that price or not.
The basics are you put an antenna outside of the structure, pointed at the cell tower, run a cable from it (at least as I recall, 30′ apart so they do not interfere with each other) to the inside unit. The inside unit is powered so it should be routed to near an outlet. That is it. Plug it in, turn it on and give your phone a try.
Our shop is essentially a Faraday cage. Before the booster we got nothing inside. With the addition of the Amazboost we have fantastic phone functionality. If your cell coverage is bad, give it a whirl. Amazon has a 30-day money back guarantee, so if you don’t see any improvement send it back. The general caveat is that if you have zero bars now it probably won’t help you much. If you have 1-2 bars and drop calls, this will probably fix you right up.

All,
There is more on this topic in another area of the forums – 7290 Traffic Net Training. Please click the link and go there for the info. I was going to merge this with the other one, but a limitation of the existing setup is that you can only do that within a section (i.e. “News” not move it to the other post in “Events”), so it will stay posted in both areas.
