Sitting between the canyon walls, does not allow us very good access in using our cell phone. If we leave our cell phone right by the one window and don’t move it-we can make and receive calls. But it does make it awkward for trying to talk to someone. Or we can walk around to varies areas inside the park to pick up a half way decent signal to make a call, but by doing this you have lots of background noise and no privacy.
Since I also use our smart phone as a connection to the Internet for the computer, that makes it even more difficult. I have to be 3g in order for it to work. Therefore we either have to run over to the truck stop just up the road and use their Wi-Fi signal or go over to our daughter in Clifton. Going to our Daughter has worked greatly, but again we don’t run in every day so it make it a bit of inconvenience to use the internet.
We used a Wilson Antenna booster a few years ago while parked at North Padre Island, it worked for the most part, but wasn’t a 100% reliable, so returned it back to the store. We haven’t needed a booster until now….
There is a newer version of a cell phone booster that is specifically for 2g,3g and smart phones and half the cost of the other cell phone antenna booster. The booster is made by Wilson Antenna and can be purchased at any electronic/computer store like Best Buy; where we bought ours. Radio Shack use to cell them around here, but discontinue for many claim it didn’t work.
Has it worked for us? Well Brian put it up yesterday, and I have been able to jump right onto the Internet, using the cell phone. Then we fired up the computer and turned on the Mobile Hot Spot and walla, I had Internet once again in the privacy of our little home, using the computer!
The true test was seeing how it would download files. So I went to Brian’s Brother and Sister-in-law’s photo web page and downloaded some photos they took while on vacation to WI and it worked beautifully! I mostly have anywhere from 3-5 bars and staying in 3g.
The next test to see how well it will download to my blog web page. It’s June 1st, if you see this posted on this date-then it worked! If you see it posted on June 2nd that means it didn’t work and then it will be decided if it’s worth keeping the booster…
We are limited to mobility, we have to stay at the booth in our motorhome, because it is tethered to a short wire that connects the phone to the antenna. The antenna needs to be place on the roof onto something medal; which in our case is our a/c. (note: because of the plactic covering over the a/c, we will need to purchase a piece of medal to make the magnet stick stronger.)
Brian has run the wire down into our one window, 
and then we put the cell phone in the cradle.
