THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT My desk / building corner has ZERO Verizon coverage. I would like to purchase some sort of booster / repeater so my cell phone will work. The devices I saw on my search seemed to be designed to boost a single cell phone's signal. I need one that can be used by multiple people (Ten people is a decent estimate...) Anyone have any experience with a device that fits my description? |

Just saw this last night: http://support.verizonwireless.com/faqs/Equipment/network_extender_business.html or http://business.verizonwireless.com/content/b2b/en/wireless-products-services/network-extender-business.html Network Extender for Business is not the same as Network Extender for Home. I don't have either, by the way. However, it *looks* like it would serve your needs. The home version is $249 or so. Business version *might* be $399. Good Luck! |

This might work for you:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=75-997-551 If you need a bi-directional booster, it's going to be more expensive. Wilson has a kit for $650 or so. |

If you haven't done anything yet, I am a dealer for this company and can vouch for their products. They have some self install kits that may work for you. If you contact a reseller, you might be able to get better pricing than their website.

Is this the same as a femtocell?
I have sprint and have 0 coverage at my house even though sprint says that there is plenty of 3G there. They are sending me a femtocell to plug into my high speed internet. they said it will support 6 phones or something like that. 0 cost to me and 0 monthly cost to use. My sprint phone works good everywhere else including down towards the end of my street. |

FYI, Samsung makes the VZW extender (both home and business). Used to be femtocell. |
