Cell Phone Booster
 

Since we got a metal roof our already weak cell phone reception has gone Virtually away . NO BARS inside the house .
I saw this at Tiger direct , http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...?EdpNo=1829799
external antenna , 57db of gain
In searching about I found this ,

external antenna , 50db of gain

Has Any body had ANY experience with any thing like this ??,


No Flint I am NOT going to wrap tin foil on our cell phone antennas ;)

nope sorry.

Guess I'm cheap, but for $239 I'd walk outside :rolleyes:

How do you know when to walk outside?

I suppose whenever I needed to use the phone, although I despise cell phones

Bruce's point is, how do you know if someone's trying to call you?

And if you consider that most people's cellphone plans are a good $60 a month, $239 is only 4 months' worth. Zip, since you use your cellphone for work, would your employer maybe reimburse you for the booster?

That is a discussion I am about to have with my boss .
Seeing as I am on the ON CALL list( the ONLY resident tech we have that IS ) ,
and I take care of 2 of the biggest customers the Corp has ( well our shop at least )
them paying for the booster seems reasonable
Half at least , as Carol has the same cell phone service as me .

Cheaper than building a greenhouse to keep your cellphone in.... unless of course your boss would go for that.

I called my boss on sunday , got NO responce .
This morning he said he tryed 3-4 times to get thru ,

He is splitting the cost of the booster/repeater ,
I'll let you'll know how it works .

please do, I'm thinking of getting one for my truck.

I'd like to know how well it works too. I'm living in an older house with cement in the walls. I can't get a signal for shit in the house regardless of which provider I use.

it should be here twards the end of the week , I'll get it put up and let ya'll know ,

Brian , they have a mobile booster as well ,

From what I have seen it depends what cell provider you use , Nextel seems to be the weird one when finding a booster

you guys all have no landlines now?

and indoor plumbing ,
boss wont call my land line unless it is a OH SHIT the Train derailed on the scale Emergency and he can't get me on my cell

Leave me out of this, man. You're the one who covered your whole roof in tinfoil so you wouldn't have to take any more calls from people who can't log in because their caps-lock key is on, or the people who think the power button to the computer is on the monitor.
