n2horns Report post Posted July 20, 2022 They will NOT create a signal if there isn't one there. Need a signal even faint and it will boost it. What helps is getting it higher up that roof line, above cargo bars/boxex etc..... Text message usually can get out when there isnt a phone signal. Inreach gets you texting all day long.

We go to the North Rim turkey hunting every year and this device has proven extremely valuable to us while up there... I would definitely buy another one if mine broke...

bigorange Report post Posted July 20, 2022 Are you talking about a portable booster to use in remote areas or a booster for home? We have no landline and when we moved a couple yrs ago the cell signal is so bad and so many dead spots in our house that we bought a booster for home. It requires an Ethernet connection and gps signal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coueser Report post Posted July 20, 2022 AzDiamond, thanks for the link. I’m guessing you use the RV model? Are there many camping locations where you don’t have signal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I found it cheaper on eBay. There was a little configuration to it but once I got it setup and connected it’s been great. the link is to AMazon.

Greenback Report post Posted July 20, 2022 I use an older Wilson cell phone booster at my place up north and it takes my phone from zero signal to about 2 bars, enough to text and call out with. Here is a link to their newer version. https://www.wilsonsignalbooster.com/weboost-470154-drive-reach-mobile-signal-booster-kit.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are there many camping locations where you don’t have signal? no, i kind of pieced mine together. for my truck i use the new reach model with standard antenna. i then transfer it to mmy toyhauler where i use a directional antenna clamped to the top of my flagpole. https://www.weboost.com/products/314411 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
