I'll be interested in how this works out.
I thought about purchasing one for my ranch which is down in the Canadian River Valley approx. 20 miles as the crow flies from the nearest cell tower...I can get spotty reception at best....let us know how yours work out...
For the record my Setup is a few years older than the model @amcardon is installing. like the picture above, the kit includes a antenna reciever, amplifier box, and an internal broadcast antenna. You can typically flip the power on and off as needed, and the bigger the external antenna, the more range you have. The internal broadcast antenna typically creates a 24-36 inch bubble of improved reception. I've found it to be valuable. When I was in the oil business, my booster meant the difference between making a call or not, or having a data connection. At one point in time it meant that I could get the address to the local emergency room and call to make sure they were open, while nobody else had reception and a hand was having a heart attack. It doesn't create cell phone signal, but it does boost existing signal. It can turn one bar into one or two bars, or a strong 3g signal into a 4g signal that would typically be out of your reach with just the phones internal antenna. Recently, when I was down on Weyerhaeuser land near the Antlers/Cloudy/Clayton area, I could drive onto the top of a large hill and pick up enough cell reception to call the old lady when needed, and I have zero reception out there without it.
Apparently land/home based booster setups are pretty effective if properly set up, but also pretty pricey, esp if buying the top of the line whole home solution. https://www.amazon.com/weBoost-Inst...al-Installation/dp/B085M7TWJP?ref_=ast_sto_dp
