Looking for some advice/guidance on cell signal boosters
I live in an area where if I get 2 bars of cell service I an doing good. I am looking into a cell signal booster to assist with this, but I am not an electronics type of person. Have any of you had experience with these or have and suggestions on what to get?
I understand they take a signal and then amplify it (increase it by roughly 60 db as I understand it) and then re-transmit that stronger signal to a fairly small area. This is what I need for working from the house, but it turns out my work phone is thru one carrier and the kids and wife are on another. So I am thinking I am going to need 2 of these systems for the best results for the entire household....since I will have to aim the outside antenna at two different towers (the closest tower only covers band 13 (Verison) - while the others are AT&T and those towers are in different directions from us).
Any advise is appreciated.
