For those of you who wish to use your cell phone indoors, perhaps because you have dumped your land line, this ZBoost Wireless Extender is for you.
I have 2 cell phones, US Cellular because they have great coverage in my geographic area, and Verizon because of the broadband capabilites with my PDA. With my new Google GrandCentral service, I finally have the telecommunications services I have always wanted.
But my office is in the lower level. The US Cellular service works most of the time there, now that I have a Motorola Razor phone; but not always. And the Verizon? That “Can you hear me now?” moron has never been to my county. 10 miles or one hill away from the interstate and service is dismal.
I first looked into cell phone signal boosters (also known as wireless extenders) about 5 years ago. Prices were in the $1000 – $2000 range and you needed some technical know how to figure out what to buy.
But that has all changed with the zBoost Wireless Extenders YX 510-PCS/CEL Dual Band Cell Phone Signal Booster.
This was SO EASY to install and setup. The instructions show just mounting the antennae next to a window, but that is a bit unsightly. Mounting it on the roof is ideal, but be sure to get the optional grounding unit. Since I had a lot to do with the construction of my house, I have conduit from the lower level up to the attic. In minutes I had the antennae mounted and the unit plugged in.
Now, my US Cellular phone has full strength even indoors, and my Verizon phone is good enough to make calls with.
If your office is in a metal building, you likely can’t use your cell phone inside either. I would recommend an exterior mounting of the antennae for you. But once you have this “wireless extender” you will wonder how you ever got along without it.
And the price? Check it out yourself, but I just bought at a price below $300 with a $30 rebate besides.
