Cell Phone Booster

What external antenna do you use, and are you using it with your iPhone?

I'm using one I bought from Australia on eBay several years ago. Not sure it does all the frequency ranges but OK on GSM. I got fed up with the stick on ones that came in the car phone kits and decided to upgrade to something that might actually work in remote areas. Yes I use it with my iPhone.

It's all about the antenna! No bar no boost! Buy a good brand of high db booster then get the best db antenna. The higher the better! Rf does not use rules in the field only paper!

The newest one they have is called Drive Reach which supposedly reaches out farther because it is most powerful:

weBoost Drive Reach and Drive Reach Fleet Vehicle Cell Phone Boosters

Been a couple months, any new king of the Cell Boosters? I just want one I can set up in camp running off DC power.

I'm not that convinced about boosters... you can't boost what isn't there in the first place. That said I make sure and use a cradle for the phone that allows for an external antenna connection. That way I get the best of the signal into the vehicle and to the phone.

Signal booster not only boost the transmit power but have a lower signal to noise ratio (expensive parts) that allow a weaker signal to be received.
