Cellular boosters?

[blackford]

I figure before I ask the question I have some explaining to do..... I work in a field that if I miss a call it can cost me a lot of money. For example I was out hunting for the last 5 days and missed a call from a client. They decided since I didn't call them back that day they would get someone else going. I nearly lost the business from that client which can be quite an expensive issue.

Anyhow... I have a friend that swears by the Weboost cell phone booster. He said its not perfect but its pretty damn close to being perfect. I did go fishing at his cabin and we were out of cell phone reception for me but when her turned on the booster and I was in his truck I had reception....

So my question is.. Does anyone use these? is it worth the 500-700 dollars?


what's your take on this?

We have a booster on our cabin and it works pretty good. It needs to be setup so the receiving antenna is pointing to the nearest tower, once you get that dialed in, you're gold. I picked mine up out in Abbotsford at Freeway communications. https://www.freewaycom.ca/collections/cell-boosters
Not sure how it would work while mobile, but the guys there can set you up.

Pm sent I have a few questions

They only work if there is there is a bit of service. I have the $1200 setup in my truck but if you really need service go for the starlink mobile.

329 a month for starlink mobile. That ain’t cheap

Would you lose more than 4k a year if you missed a clients call? If the answer is yes, than its a cheap fix

[blackford]

true but I am away for 2 week in the bush a year.. it would be sitting without being used if I wasn't away... I am going to try the cell-booster. and see what happened. need to find a good deal on one though.

I've heard you can rent starlinks now for a week at a time.

What about a Zoleo, it's a dedicated number and your client could text you then you could get into cel service to work and make $.
