Before investing in a booster amplifier, check with a service technician who works with the cell sites for your cell company. A friend of mine, who works for Verizon maintaining all the cell sites here near Lake Tahoe, says that the amplifier works well with analog signals, but not with digital signals. The amplifier will increase the signal strength, but there are timing issues with the digital signal that are controlled by your distance from the cell tower no matter what the signal strength. I have line of site from my home to the cell tower and can get a 3 bar signal, but cannot make a call because the distance is just outside the limit that Verizon sets for digital signals.
