$100

I bought this and I'm tired of messing with it. The lights blink. Could be red, could be green, could be orange. Your guess is as good as my colorblind guess. It seems to work as my phone does show an improved signal but I'd rather switch to this.

Full specs: http://www.wilsonelectronics.com/store/display/38/0/signalboost-dt-adjustable-gain
Installation video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niJ6DBsw97w

What you get:
  • Booster
  • Outdoor antenna
  • Antenna mouting bracket
  • About 20 feet of white RG6 with F connectors. This is how the outdoor antenna connects to the booster
  • Internal antenna; integrated RG something with SMA
  • Power adapter
I also have a box of RG6 if you want it.

You...live in a city with a semi-official population density of 7,402/sq mi, likely less than half a mile from the closest cell site, and you need a signal amp?

Two solutions:

1- Verizon sucks.

B- You're doing it wrong.

Get a better phone. LG and Samsung phones suck for coverage.

Even an external antenna on this Samsung phone is not likely to help my situation due to man-made and natural barriers between me and Verizon's antennas 50 feet up the pole.

Looks like a Western Electric 500. I have one of those. Sounds much better than a modern cellphone.
