Probably all of us at one point or another have been deeply annoyed by the poor cell phone reception.
It’s no secret that it exists and can disrupt our day to day lives.
But what causes bad cell phone reception?
Well, there are many different reasons - some of them are under your control, while there is nothing you can do about the others.
Distance from the cell tower
the further you are from the tower, the worse the signal is going to get.
Surroundings
trees, hills, mountains, and so on have a bad effect on the cell signal.
Building materials
the more metal, concrete and thick walls you have, the worse your signal will be.
Busy tower
a crowded tower (many people trying to connect to it) will do your signal no good.
Weather conditions
bad weather negatively affects the signal.
Interference
any electronic appliances and metal objects create an interference with your signal.
As you can see, the answer to your question of why my cell phone service is getting worse is the reasons listed above.
But how, you might ask?
Well you see, your cell phone signal is a radio frequency wave, like any other, which makes it possible to travel such great distances. However, there is a downside.
Pretty much anything that stands on your way to the cell tower can weaken the signal, which is a combination of obstacles and distance contributing to your poor cell phone reception.
Before we get to the bars, there are many other symbols that you have on your phone. What do the symbols on my phone mean you say?
Well, there are many and they mean different things.
Naturally, arises the question, what does data mean on a cell phone? You might have the 5G, 4G, 3G, H+, and E displayed. Each of them represents the kind of connection you are currently having. With the numbers it’s very clear, the letters on the other hand mean the following:
However, they are very subjective and vary depending on your provider and phone. For example, 2 bars with AT&T and an iPhone can mean 4 bars with T-Mobile and a Samsung phone.
Does it pretty much answer the question of why do I have five bars but poor cell phone receptions? You never really know how good or bad your reception is solely depending on the bars.
Thankfully, there is a much more definite and certain way to know how strong your signal is, which is accessing the information on decibels.
dB or decibels is the way to measure the cellular signal. You can access that information through your phone and know exactly your dBm signal strength.
This
dBm might have a very different representation in bars on your phone, as we have already
mentioned. So be sure to check the real signal strength in dBm to know whether or not to
invest in the mobile signal booster. 
Believe it or not, there is a great way of checking signal strength and you can do it easily on your phone in a few hits. It is under the field test mode, and here is how you turn it on for different phones and operating systems.
For iPhone Users
Here are the instructions on how to test antenna signal strength:

For Android Users
When it comes to Android, everything is not as straightforward and exact as in the case of the iPhone. The reason for that is the multitude of different companies making phones. Each Android version needs to be adapted to the particular chipset and make of the phone, thus the place of the test mode might vary.
Don’t despair though!
Here is the general instruction on how to test antenna signal strength:
If by any chance none of these showed any results, then try just doing a speed test with an app in different corners of your house and outside, in order to determine the strength of the signal. We have already answered the question of what is good signal strength in dBm, so you know what you are looking for here.
All of the above mentioned are different generation telecommunication technologies that were introduced one after another for mobile internet.
2G - or the 2nd generation wireless telephone technology gives you a very slow, dial-up speed for the internet, which let’s face it, no one has the time for anymore. It is mainly used to describe the voice connection today. It also lets you send texts and pictures through SMS.
3G - as you have already guessed, it’s the third generation wireless telephone technology that lets us use mobile internet. It is still very popular in those areas that have no 4G access.
4G - it’s probably the most popular one we have and use today: the fourth-generation wireless technology that allows us to stream videos, video chat with our friends and family, and generally use the internet at a great speed.
5G - the newest version, the fifth-generation wireless technology that has been the talk of the town for quite some time now. It allows for unprecedented and unheard-of speeds for mobile internet, which is promising to be a game-changer. It is implemented in limited areas as of today, but its use is spreading. Not all the hardware, i.e. the phones, are ready for it, thus if you want to keep up with the leap in technology, you need to upgrade the phone too.
⇒ Find more detailes about wireless networks differences hereThese all were wireless networks. Likewise, the cellular network that is responsible for your voice connection and signal also differs.
Let’s explore that a bit.
GSM - this one is probably the most widely known, and it stands for Global System for Mobile Communications. It is the most popular type of network used in more than 190 countries globally. In order to connect to a GSM network, you need a physical sim-card. You insert it in your phone, and only then the network can identify your device.
TDMA - this network is called Time Division Multiple Access and is a method of accessing a shared-medium network. It divides each transaction into time slots, thus letting multiple users access it without restrictions.
CDMA - or Codes Division Multiple Access uses a channel access method to transmit data, without having to occupy a frequency. This way a data can be transferred simultaneously by multiple users and the code identifies each one. Unlike GSM, this method does not require a sim-card, and the device directly connects to the network.
In order to get the best possible signal, you need to connect to the nearest cell towers. In order to get the best possible signal, you need to connect to the nearest cell towers. How do I see a cell phone tower map, you might ask?
Just like there is an app today to remind you to drink water, eat, monitor your sleep, and pretty much do anything in your life, there are apps for finding the nearest cell tower as well. There are some created just for iOS, while others cater to Android or both.
⇒ Check out the guide on How to find the cell tower near you?All of these apps are tried and tested.

A cell phone signal booster, or a repeater, phone booster, amplifier, is a device that boosts your voice and/or 3G and 4G signals in the area. They comply with all the safety regulations and are approved by all local carriers.
There are many advantages to owning a booster, but here are the main
points on
how this device can make your life easier:
People living either in remote or busy urban areas can equally benefit from a signal booster, as both are very likely to experience troubles with a signal, but for different reasons.
A mobile signal booster is a great and very permanent solution to the issue of a bad signal, as all it needs is a one-time installation.
In case you have a good signal outdoors, but experience dead-zones inside the premises - whether it’s your house, car, office, or even a boat, this nifty device will take care of everything, leaving you with a great signal to live your life with comfort.
You might ask a question of how a cell phone signal booster actually works. Well, it’s very simple really.
A booster consists of 3 main parts, the amplifier unit, the outdoor antenna, and the indoor antenna.
1
Place the outdoor antenna in a location where you get the best signal reception, then connect the provided long cable between the booster and outdoor antenna.
2
Connect the small indoor antenna to the booster and finish the installation operation by plugging the power cord into a power socket.
Of course!
Provided you have a solid signal outside, the booster will surely eradicate the bad signal indoors, leaving you with nothing but a seamless and fast connection. Remember that a booster doesn’t create the signal, but it merely amplifies the existing one.
Another point to remember is that you need to have enough distance between the indoor and outdoor antennas, for them to work properly and not interfere with each other’s signals. In case this criteria is met, the signal will be nothing but strong and consistent.
Sort of
The ones who might experience problems are those, whose indoor and outdoor antennas are too close to each other, and there is an interference between the two, creating trouble for you to catch the signal. The booster technically works, but you are left out of the benefits it provides.
No, sorry
People, who might get this answer are those, who don’t have any or enough signal strength outside for the outdoor antenna to catch. As we have already mentioned, the booster can’t create the signal out of thin air, it can only boost a signal that is already there.
The key to having the best booster experience is ensuring there is a
The question of boosting a cell signal in rural areas concerns a lot of people, and especially those who reside there.
The problem is distance.
As we have mentioned earlier, one of the causes of your bad signal is the great distance between you and the cell tower.
Naturally, many people ask themselves the question of how to boost cell phone reception in remote areas.
Instead of going through red tape and many phone calls and forms, to get your provider to install another cell tower, or try to make them solve the issue, you can do it yourself.
Simply purchase and install a cell phone booster. It’s fast, reliable, and will solve the problem as soon as you turn on the device.
Statistically, the majority of people who actually purchase a booster, do live in rural or remote areas.
⇒ Do cell phone boosters work in dead zones? Find out hereThe answer to that question depends on the condition you are in. In case you have a solid outside signal, then yes, the booster will work for your home.
Make sure to enter your provider, the house area in sq. ft. and the signal you are having troubles with in the filters, when searching for the booster, to get the right one for you and the best possible outcome.
For midsize homes and offices with weak outside signal
The answer to that question depends on the condition you are in. In case you have a solid outside signal, then yes, the booster will work for your home.
Make sure to enter your provider, the house area in sq. ft. and the signal you are having troubles with in the filters, when searching for the booster, to get the right one for you and the best possible outcome.
The answer here is also similar to the previous one. Yes, it will, provided there is a signal in the area, through which you are driving and that you got a booster, that is compatible with your carrier.
Keep in mind that there are vehicle boosters that are designed especially for cars, trucks, motor homes, and so on. A house booster won’t work in your car, so make sure to get a vehicle booster, and the problem will be solved.
The quick answer is all, but it depends.
If you get a multiband signal booster, meaning it supports more than one frequency or band, then you have your bases covered.
All carriers use several frequencies to broadcast their various signals. So if your booster supports multiple bands, one of those would be your carrier.
However, if you have a single band booster, meaning it only supports one frequency or band, it will only enhance the signal for that particular band, whichever carrier and signal it may be.
As mentioned above, the single-carrier booster is the single band one, meaning it supports only one frequency. Whichever carrier occupies that band for their signal, will be the one, your booster supports.
Thus, when choosing a single band booster, keep in mind to get the one that supports your carrier’s frequency. Otherwise, you will waste money and not get any results.
On the other hand, the multi-carrier booster is the one, supporting several frequencies or bands, meaning it will enhance the signal that is broadcasted through the many bands it supports.
With a multi-carrier booster you are covering all your bases, and if you have people coming over, or need it for your office, that has people subscribed to all kinds of different carriers, this one is the way to go.
Just to be clear, this device is to enhance a Wifi signal, and in no way can be used to help with the cellular signal.
In a nutshell, all 3 can be the same device, carrying different names and having different modes.
Wifi Booster is a device that can catch the weak wifi signal and broadcast the strong one. The devices will bypass the weak one, connecting to the strong one, and not knowing the difference.
Wifi Extender it’s the same booster, with a different name. This device will extend the signal to far corners of your house, without being able to create a new network.
Wifi Repeater it’s the same booster, but a bit versatile. It mainly has 4 modes: router, repeater, bridge, and AP. To understand the difference in each, be sure to check out our article, dedicated to exactly that!
If you were reading carefully, you can see that boosters have different powers. Some cover 1000 sq.ft., while others can cover up to 25.000 sq. ft.
The difference between them is their gain and downlink powers.
So which one should you pay attention to?
To choose the booster that fits best for your needs, you go on our website, and simply fill in the filter.
Based on the information you put, the system will give you the best solutions, and you can go through each of the products and see which one you like more.
There are a couple of things to keep in mind, as we said before:
As you can see, many factors affect the choice.
You can try and figure everything out on your own, or you can do it the easy way and ask a professional.
Contact us any time of day and night, and we will be more than happy to assist you to choose the best solution for you and will be sure to answer every and any concern you might have.
Technically, anything is possible!
You can make an antenna from any piece of metal, or even a metal hanger, get wires, connectors, and your indoor and outdoor units are ready!
However, there is no guarantee that your homemade solution will work, plus you won’t have a booster unit to connect the “antennas” to, and still may suffer from a lousy signal.
In order to guarantee results, a much safer way to go would be through an experienced route and leave it to professionals. Treat this problem like any other. You wouldn’t try to fix a broken bone in your body yourself, you would go to a doctor.
Likewise, if you have a problem with a signal, better get a device that was designed to fix it, and not try to solve it yourself. 98% of the time, you will end up getting the booster anyway, and just waste your time and money on something that probably won’t get you the desired results.
We have come to a very important point here, as the right installation is a crucial factor in ensuring you get the maximum out of your investment. The installation process differs, depending on where you need to enhance the signal. The whole process is similar, but there are nuances you need to take into account.
So which one should you pay attention to?
We have come to a very important point here, as the right installation is a crucial factor in ensuring you get the maximum out of your investment.
The installation process differs, depending on where you need to enhance the signal. The whole process is similar, but there are nuances you need to take into account.
In a nutshell, here are the steps you need to take:
In case you have a solid outdoor signal, get an omnidirectional antenna, as you will benefit from signals, coming from all directions.
If you have a poor outdoor signal, get a unidirectional antenna, as they are stronger, and you can point it in the direction of the tower, to be able to catch the best possible signal.
For the very detailed installation process, be sure to check it out here.
When it comes to the vehicle booster installation, here it’s a bit easier than home.
Depending on the type of vehicle you have, you might need to tweak a few things, but the main steps are these.
Hide the wires in the hinge of the car, to make sure that they are secure, and no one will accidentally pull on it and disconnect the booster from its parts.
If you have a bigger car, make sure you have enough wires to place it exactly how you want.
Everything highly depends on the place of your installation, and how tech-savvy you are, and experienced in such matters.
For buildings and houses
For some people, it might take hours, while for others - days to figure out how to determine the best spot for the antenna, figure out how to mount the antenna, maybe purchase a drill.
Up to 1 hour - In general, however, for someone who knows what they are doing, it might take about 30-60 minutes to install a simple signal booster at home, with only one of each - the outdoor and indoor antennas.
Up to 8 hours - In case you need a more complicated solution, with multiple antennas, and long coaxial cables, it might take about 8 hours. However in this case we recommend hiring a professional.
For vehicles
Again, here time depends on the size of your vehicle and the kind of booster you have.
Up to 30 min - these are the wireless boosters, that need both indoor and outdoor antennas.
Up to 10 min -these are the cradle ones (a combination of a booster and a phone holder), that only require an outdoor antenna.
It’s quite simple really.
If you get a great signal in every corner of your area, whether it’s a house, apartment, office, boat, or vehicle, then you have succeeded in installing the booster.
In case you are still experiencing problems with the signal, there might be many things you need to check:
Every cell phone booster comes equipped with antennas, outdoor and indoor (only outdoor in case of a cradle vehicle booster).
There are 2 main types of outdoor antennas here - omnidirectional and unidirectional.
Let’s see how they differ and which works best for which case.
As you can probably guess from their names, the omnidirectional one can catch a signal coming from all directions, and the unidirectional one needs to be pointed in the direction of the tower.
Here is a quick table to illustrate their differences.
Omnidirectional (omni)
Catches a signal from all directions
Doesn’t need to be pointed to the tower
Is slightly weaker
Is the best choice for a great outside signal
Unidirectional (yagi)
Catches a signal from one direction
Needs to be pointed to the tower
Is very strong
Is the best choice for poor outside signal
There are also different types of indoor antennas - dome and panel.
Here is a table that best describes the differences between both.
Dome Antenna
Spreads the signal to all directions
Mounts on the ceiling
Works best in open and large spaces
Panel Antenna
Broadcasts the signal in one direction
Mounts on the wall
Works best in hallways and smaller rooms
Any signal booster comes equipped with only 1 indoor antenna, and in most cases that
is sufficient.
However, in some special cases, you might need more than one
antenna to ensure the best possible coverage and signal strength.
To know how many and which kind, one needs to evaluate the floor plan. If you are on the fence about what you need, contact us, and we will point you in the right direction, to secure full coverage of the area and the strongest signal in every corner.
In the kit with the booster comes only one outdoor antenna, just like there is only one indoor. Now, in the previous sections, we have talked about the difference between the outdoor antennas and in which case you need to get one or the other.
In case you have a very large area and think you might benefit from more than one outdoor antenna, contact us.
Some areas do need a professional eye to determine the kind of mobile signal solutions you need, and what kind of outdoor antenna combinations you will most benefit in your specific case.
Here are the main types of vehicle antennas that are meant for different kinds of vehicles.
This antenna is an indoor vehicle antenna meant to be permanently fixed on the roof of a large vehicle, like an RV or a truck. Some of these antennas come with a spring, to ensure it can withstand low impacts.
This antenna attaches to the roof of the car with a magnet in its base. They come in 2 different lengths - 4 inches for 4G signal and 12 inches for the 3G signal.
This one is shaped like a phone holder, has 2 functions in one shape - an indoor antenna and a booster itself. These kinds of boosters support only one device, and it has to be attached to the cradle, for the booster to work. This is a great option for safety, as all the communication has to remain hands-free.
This antenna is meant to be used on boats and can be permanently attached to any kind of marine vehicle, with standard fixtures. It is also waterproof and will work regardless of weather conditions.
This is a standard low-profile inside antenna that comes with most of the vehicle wireless boosters. It is omnidirectional and supports multiple devices, letting both driver and passenger enjoy the great connection.
This is a slightly bigger antenna, that is designed for larger vehicles like RV. This one is identical to the panel antenna in-home booster kits, which makes it impossible to use in smaller cars. And just like the panel in the home kits, it is directional.
In case you have a much greater distance between where the outdoor antenna would be and the booster, or you need a more complicated solution with multiple antennas, below are the accessories you might need to go with it.
All you need to know about cables
Believe it or not, but cables are extremely important in ensuring the best possible result you can get out of your booster.
Surely there are many different options to choose from, so we will lay out all the facts, for you to make an informed decision.
Boosters use coaxial cables to transmit the signal between antennas and the booster unit.
A very important thing to remember is that you lose signal strength when it is traveling through a cable.
Thus - the longer the cable the weaker the signal and vice-versa.
It is crucial to use exactly the right amount of cable and not an inch more, as you will weaken your signal with your own hands.
All boosters come equipped with all the necessary accessories to install them, and cables are also included. The included cable length should satisfy the majority of setups, however, there are instances, when the provided cables are either shorter or longer than necessary.
In case they are longer, make sure to cut them, as we have already discussed, to maximize the incoming/outgoing signal strength.
In case it’s shorter, and there is no way to make it work, you will need to order additional cable.
And here we came to the million-dollar question of what length do you need and which cable to get?
However, just to give you general information on the cables, here are the main types that we provide with our boosters:
RG-6 - This one is probably the most widely used coaxial cable for home-grade wiring and is included in the kit of most boosters. It’s a 75-ohm cable with a length of 16-49 feet and F connectors.
RG-11 - This would be an upgrade of the previous model, and is also a 50-ohm cable, but with less loss and more power with F connectors.
RG-58 - These are widely used and are a part of our kits for large vehicle boosters, like RV boosters. They are equipped with SMA connectors and are 50-ohm, with a better loss indicator.
LMR-400 - These are very low loss 50-ohm coaxial cables with N connectors, that are widely used with our home and office boosters.
3D & 5D-FB - These are also very low loss, 50-ohm cables, that we offer with a wide variety of our home installation boosters. These are the most common cables for the GSM or radio wave signal transmission and support all bands.
We talked about different types of cables but forgot to mention what is ohm and what’s the difference between the 50 and 75 models.
Well, here it goes!
Impedance is the main criteria, by which we measure cables. Basically, the “ohm” number represents the resistance of the cable to the electrical current. The smaller the number, the better the performance.
However, these 2 cables have significant differences in their build, and many nuances, that we won’t go into, to spare you the unnecessary headache.
The 50-ohm cables are more professional, they are bulkier, and are perfect for industrial needs, and installation in places like malls, office buildings, and huge hotel chains.
The 75-ohm ones, on the other hand, look much smaller, thinner, and are easier to mount and hide in nukes and crannies of the walls or along with them.
In case you need to boost your signal over a huge property, then we would recommend 50-ohm cables. Otherwise, the 75-ohm ones do a great job of transmitting a signal at a distance of up to 72 feet.
Depending on your needs, now you can make an informed decision on which cable to get.
In case you are a proud owner of a large property, it being a mention or a commercial area, you might need a more tech-savvy installation, which will require more parts than generally come with a booster. Let’s get into each and see how they can be used.
This device is used to split the signal flow, in case you need to connect more than one indoor antenna.
Depending on your needs, you can get one for two, three, and four inside antennas.
Naturally, you lose signal strength, so we would recommend using these in case you have a very strong outside signal.
Here is the amount of loss you get with each:
Splitter types
Gain loss
2-way splitter
-3 dB
3-way splitter
-4.8 dB
What it means in real life, is that if the incoming signal strength is, let’s say, -80 dB, it will come out of the 2-way splitter -83 dB, which is lower than -80 dB.
In case you live in a flat area and need to place your antenna as high as possible, or live in an apartment building and want to somehow mount the antenna on a pole outside your window or on the roof, you will need pole mounts.
For example, the Yagi directional antenna is designed to be mounted on a pole, and in case you don’t have anything to keep it in place, this is where the pole mounts come in.
There are many different kinds, that vary in their complexity - from basic bent shafts to strategically angled holes and many installation options for the ideal placement of the pole and, consequently, the antenna.
In case you live in an area with a lot of thunderstorms and are very cautious, feeling more secure with preventive measures, you will benefit from this device.
It is installed between the outdoor antenna cable and the booster unit, grounding the current and protecting your device from lightning.
We would also suggest grounding the power supply of your booster, with a basic home-surge.
It’s better to be safe than sorry, right?
When it comes to power supplies, all our boosters come with one already in the pack.
All of our boosters work with the standard US power outlets and a voltage supply of 120V and 60 Hz.
Depending on the type of repeater you purchase, you will have either a standard plug for the socket inside the wall or a DC port (for vehicles - the cigarette lighter port).
All of the cables and booster too, have specific types of connectors.
You might have noticed when reading the cables part, where we put N, F, or SMA male or female connectors.
Well, it’s an important little detail as if you get the wrong kind, you simply will fail in attaching everything together, as the parts won’t fit.
There are three main types of connectors:
N Connectors - These are radio frequency coaxial cable connectors, that can be both male and female. It is usually medium in size and waterproof, which makes it perfect for outdoor layouts and connections.
F Connectors - These are also RF coaxial cable connectors, that are usually used with RG-6, RG-11, and RG 59 cables, available both in male and female options.
SMA Connectors - Another type of RF cable connectors with minimum loss and 50 ohm impidence. It’s small in size, which makes it ideal for vehicle use.
The Boosters listed above are designed for the United States specifically. There might be a frequency difference in other countries, which will make the booster virtually useless. However, if the frequency matches the one booster supports, then yes, it will work.
Yes, they do. Make sure that you choose a booster that supports the frequency that your carrier uses to broadcast 4G/LTE and enjoy the great speed.
All the devices that can connect to a cellular network for voice or internet purposes are compatible with boosters. These devices include phones, tablets, and any devices with a sim-card slot.

The best technical solution to improve your cell phone reception would be to install a mobile signal booster. If done right, it is 100% effective and provides a very long-term solution.
No, you do not. The booster amplifies the cellular signal and broadcasts it through the area. Your phone won’t know the difference.
Depending on your situation, the answer varies. Please contact our team to provide your exact information, so we can give you a definitive answer.
No! You buy the device and it’s yours.
No, it will not.
If you are having troubles with 4G, you should buy a 4G booster. Check the bands your carrier uses to broadcast the 4G signal and get the booster that supports these bands.
It will, but only to boost the 4G signal. If you need your 5G signal boosting, then sorry, you will have to get an appropriate booster.
Yes, you can. But keep in mind, that if the booster is plugged into the “cigarette lighter socket”, it will drain your battery, even if the ignition is off, in case you have an older model car. In the newer ones, the DC outlets turn off with the ignition. Make sure you know how this works exactly with your car, not to drain your battery completely.
Well, technically it can, but it won’t do you much good. Both antennas of the vehicle booster are not designed to catch and broadcast the signal across large areas. Thus, be sure to buy the home or office booster.
The coverage in terms of the area highly depends on the model and the downlink power of the booster you choose and the outside signal strength. In general, the range can be from 2000-100.000 sq. ft.
In case you get a multi-band booster that supports both voice and data bands, then yes, it will surely improve both signals.
If the dead-zone is inside the area, but the outside signal is strong - yes, the booster will help.
If the dead zone is outside - then sorry, the booster won’t be much help.
The booster unit itself is not waterproof, however, the outdoor antenna is.
Provided all stars align for your neighbor, then kinda:
If all the above conditions are met, then probably in the room right next to yours they will experience a slightly better signal. But you shouldn’t worry about it, since you will have the best possible signal inside your house!
We have told you everything you need to know about the cell signal boosters.
Now let us give you concrete and actual examples of boosters, that we think would be the best possible option for homes, hotels, and vehicles.
