How I Improved Spotty Cell Phone Service with a Signal Booster

If you’re dealing with spotty cell service like we were, here’s how we fixed it. We live in an area with unreliable Verizon coverage, so I decided to try a cell phone signal booster—and it made a huge difference!

The Installation Process

First, we used an app to locate the nearest cell tower, which helped us position the antenna correctly. My partner installed the antenna on our roof, attaching it to an old satellite rod we already had. Conveniently, there was an unused cable hole that we used to run the wire inside. From there, we connected the wire to the signal booster’s receiver.

The whole setup took about 30 minutes. Once everything was plugged in, it only took about 30 seconds to see results—our cell signal instantly improved!

What to Know Before You Buy

Choose a Multi-Directional Antenna: This type of antenna doesn’t need to be pointed directly at a tower, making installation easier.
Check Your Carrier’s Frequency Band: This is crucial! My first signal booster didn’t work because it was for Bands 12 and 17, while Verizon uses Band 13 in our area. After exchanging it for the right one, everything worked perfectly.

Final Thoughts

If you’re struggling with poor cell service, I highly recommend a signal booster. Just do your research to make sure the booster is compatible with your carrier and location. For us, the difference has been amazing—better calls, faster internet, and no more dropped signals!
