Thanks in advance for your help with this. I am new to the forum and looking for advise on what would be best for my situation. I currently have VZW and love the service everywhere except for in my office. The only way to get constant signal is to put my phone on the window sill and use my Bluetooth. I need service through the whole office and need a booster / amplifier / antenna??? I was about to purchase the zboost yx510 but not sure if that will give me enough coverage. I keep reading that it only gives about 15 feet extended coverage. I would only like to spend around $300 but also want to make sure it is done right. I also need this wireless and there will be multiple users needing this. Paul
You could try a bluetooth docking station. Pair the cellphone with the docking station, then put the cellphone near the window, where the signal is good, then plug a cordless phone into the docking station. Now your cordless phone will work throughout the office (can even use multi handset cordless phones for more accessiblity) If you need multiple users, each could have their own cordless handset to access the cellphone from their desk. The one I use is Xlink BT. Xtreme Technologies Corp. - XLINK Bluetooth Cellular Gateways
Thanks for the reply but I am trying to be able to use my cell, in hand, throughout. Also, there will be several others with different cells. I think I am looking for more of an antenna / repeater. Paul
No problem. I think you can use up to 3 cellphones with that product, if that helps. I am not sure if I described it well, but you can walk around with the cordless phone and all cellphones will ring to the cordless phone, each with a different ring tone, and caller id. I don't know of any good antennas that are easy to set up (that actually work) as opposed to all the 'gimicky' ones that may or may not get you 1 or 2 dB better sensitivity at best.
Did you ask Verizon if they intend to provide better coverage in your area anytime soon? You can report the area.
A good in building dual band wireless amplifier system will be in the $500 - $700 range. You could always go with a direct connect amplifier and use a bluetooth headset for the freedom and alot less money.
