the app is free and you don't pay any additional if you have a good enough data plan. If you have a droid on verizon i would strongly suggest an app called PDAnet. Had to change to a plan with 'tethering' which is $45/mo. Quoting: TomChumYes, old plan was $30/mo. Yagi directional antenna, 304411 (N-female connector) 32.82 Here's the stuff I bought from Wilson Electronics:Ģ0-foot 400 low loss cable 952320 (N-male both ends) $27.95īooster AG SoHo 65 805045 (N-female both ports) $335.99ġ00 foot 400 low loss cable 952300 (N-male both ends) $81.64 With my new system I can be anywhere in the cabin, or on the porch. With the car system my phone had to be right next to the re-radiating antenna. Two components were necessary for this success.ġ) I had booster experience with my first (car) system IN THIS LOCATION.Ģ) John knew how to interpret my needs from the experience that I had. The knowledge being 'will a repeater help at all?' Incidentally all the success happened when I called in and got the right guy, John in Tech support at Wilson. Now of course I wish I would have bought the good stuff first, but I did not have the knowledge that I have now. It was $330, and was kind of a waste because I would not have bought it for my camper. I'll put the car system (that I tried to use in the cabin) in my camper. $525 for electronics is a lot, but its quality stuff and it's working good. With this new system I get '60 Kb/sec' which is still slow for those who like 'internet' but OK for emails. It would be interesting whether there's 4G here, but I can't tell because my phone is only 3G. Well anyway I'm getting 3G now, and I suppose that means it's thru AT&T towers, then hopefully I won't get blacklisted. I suspect it's because my signal was being routed thru 'partner' towers, and maybe they put me on a blacklist for using too much data.(?) Some days I would have strong signal, but no emails would come in or go out. I now have 3G reception, where before (with an automotive cellphone booster) I could only get 'E' which furthermore was becoming very unreliable. OK the Feb 2012 report on the $525 repeater: SUCCESS!! In a long conversation with a very capable tech at Wilson Electronics I decided to upgrade my 'car cell-phone repeater system' to a real 'in-building' system. If you can't find it let me know and I will help you out. You may not be able to find it in the android app market because it was removed at one point.
