cell phone boost

Does anyone know an effective way to boost cell phone reception? Is there a real cell phone boost antenna that works? And preferably easy to install.

we have a WeBoost it was not hard to install at all.
It doesn't act like its working most of time but there has to be reason everyone is near our rig sometimes using their phone. Yu won't see a dramatic change in the signal bars etc. but its working

We use the Weboost Rv. Works great. Inside and outside antenna should be at least 10’ apart for best boost.

We have the weBoost in our TT and it definitely has helped. We have family issues that require us to stay in touch. If the cell service in the area is totally zero, it won’t do anything for you. But if there is a weak signal, say like 1 bar, it will get you service, even some downloads. In really poor areas you might have to get really close to the inside antenna but haven’t found that to be much of an issue.

We mounted the outside antenna to our ladder and ran the coax into the trailer by going down the fridge vent. Like said before, pretty simple install.

We have a new 5’r coming in a few weeks and will definitely go with the same set up.

Note, they do work and do help, but they won't make a signal out of thin air. They boost an existing signal.

We have several weBoost. I recommend their lastest one, the Reach.

Antenna placement and distance between the interior and exterior antennas are critical. Also the weaker the signal, the closer the interior has to be to the phone. Even held against the phone at times.

do a search on youtube for insty connect. works great. easy to install. if there is a signal out there, insty will grab it and bring it into your RV. created and sold by an RVer with like 5 or 6 kids. I love mine. I did the Visible party plan. $25 per month. love it.
