I'm surprised you are not overjoyed. No more complaints "I can't talk to Mom while working ! I was in the middle of an important online card game when the signal faded ! Waaa !"It is getting more and more ridiculous trying to get signal. We are already less than optimal in our area and inside the shop is next to impossible to get signal.
If you need service on your phone, get any modern phone that's 2 or less generations old, install some WiFi access points, and do all your calling/texting/surfing over WiFi... Much faster, more reliable, and cheaper.
I should share an example to highlight the issue.
Customer is meeting with me to discuss a project. He needs to call his office to clarify something. We no longer have land lines. He either has to go outside to use his phone or use mine if I use wifi calling on mine. Otherwise, everyone that walks in the door needs to setup on our router, correct? Is there a work around here?
A cell booster will only boost 1 service. So if your customer isn't on the one you have installed, it wouldn't help anyways.
We deal with this issue a lot at food facilities. Not in their provider, not getting service.

That's great, I need to look into it.Not true, I use a weBoost cell booster for my home for my cellular service and it works with all carriers.
Using wifi isn't an option for me as I currently have no internet available where I live. Other than paying out the nose for satellite until my utility company completes it's project to run it's own fiber lines, and who knows how many years that will be.
I have a single band boosted repeater with a high gain antenna on roof, I get 2-3 bar signal outside shop and 5 bar inside. they do make some dual band repeaters as well which will cover more phones. Mine is for Us Cellular and seems all but people on AT&T use it just fine.
Do you have decent cellphone service ? If you get at least 4G, they have routers that take a SIM card, give you fairly decent local wireless that's fed by the phone service. I use about 3gb a month that way, was $35 a month in Canada, $15 in China. Cheaper than landline internet and works as good as dsl.Using wifi isn't an option for me as I currently have no internet available where I live.

Move your fridge over next to the couch.Thats what I was thinking. When I got my new phone, I didn't want to set up Wi-Fi calling, it just seemed wrong..
But it works. At the shop, once in a while I just couldn't get a good signal, now thats not a problem.
At home, if I was on a call, either inside or outside, I had to stay on either the west end of the house,
or the east end of the house, there is about a 3 foot wide strip that runs north-south that just never has
a signal. Really sucked when I was on the couch talking on the phone, and I needed a beer, I either had to
interrupt whoever I was talking to, or risk making the 3 foot gap without dropping the call on the way to
the frig. With Wi-Fi calling, thats not a problem anymore.

JP, can you give a little detail on your antenna setup? I need to do similar at my place.
Thanks, Jason
