We have Verizon phones and bought the Wilson antenna. That by itself will help a lot with a low signal. We also purchased the Wilson power booster that runs off of 110. With both the antenna and booster, we almost always have at least 3 bars even with no bars showing without the system. If we are getting 1 or 2 without, we will have 4 or 5 with. Since we travel so much, we find there are many place in the US that has NO phone service at all, or very weak service. The system for us was worth the money.

We bought the antenna from a Flying J, and mounted it on top of the ladder mounted on the rear of the trailer, ran the cable through a hole I drilled to allow my Hughes satellite cables to enter the trailer. I then went to Radio Shack and bought the adapter cable to connect from the antenna cable to the Verizon phone. We bought the booster on line and I don't remember where. The antenna was in the in the 30 to 35 dollar region and the adapter was about 10 dollars and the booster was somewhere over 200 ish. I know that they do make a difference if your anywhere in a weak signal area.
