Cell Phone booster
Just moved into a new house just outside of town and just outside of cell service. Texts work ok but you really can't make a phone call unless you're in just the right spot. Does anyone know of some sort of device I can maybe plug into my landline or internet or something to make my phone work at my house? Or even some sort of repeater that would increase the weak signal that I get from the cell tower?
Thanks

My father in law has a Sleek booster
Amazon.com: Wilson Electronics Sleek Cell Phone Signal Cradle Booster for All Cell Phones with Mini Magnet Mount Antenna - For Single User: Electronics
It is a vehicle mounted unit that can be used in the trailer with the accessory kit.
It works for him in an area that will not allow calls unless you go outside on the tower side of the trailer.
Add the accessory kit for using it in the house

Tell Verizon to build more towers out here-
They do offer a signal booster, it's about $250 though.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of one of these setups? I feel like that's more reliable and the internet version. Also I'm just outside of service, sometime the phone works alittle inside. I'm sure if I was standing on my roof it would work fine.

I live in an area like you. I went with verizon,and for the most part,the service is good anywhere on the property. When I had at&t. I had to stand on one leg,on the porch,and jump up and down to maybe get service

We had the same problem when we had our house built. We live way out in the country. no sewer, no street lights, no people, no crime, and no cell service.
Since we have Verizon, my wife and called them and explained the situation. They offered a device that connects to your internet service (we do have cable internet out here) for $180 that they said would improve service. My wife reminded them that we have been loyal Verizon customer for over ten years and we have four phones with them. They sent us one for free.
While it's not perfect, our cell servive is much better than it was when we first moved here. If the internet goes down, you can tell the difference right away.
If you need pics of the unit or other info hit me up.
