Cell phone antenna for your home: Anyone use them?

[Homerr]

Has anyone ever put up a cell phone booster antenna for your home?<br /><br />I'm completely wireless now, and on occasion, I will lose signal strength due to my location in the country.<br /><br />I've seen 'booster' antennas available.<br /><br />My problem is, I have 2 different cell phones.<br />Is there a way I can bring a signal FROM the tower to my home so my cell phones can feed from that?<br />I other words... I don't want to hook an antenna directly to my phone.<br /><br />Would that be a repeater of sorts?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />H.

Yes, they have repeaters. Never tried one, but I've heard they work well. They're around $400 though.

I use "booster" remote antennae (on about 10' of wire)for my cell phone both in my home office and in my truck, Homerr.<br /><br />Anywhere within 20 miles of The Hideout offers unreliable or no signals otherwise. With the antennae I get full strength almost anywhere.<br /><br />It does reduce the mobility at home, but without it I have no cell communications at all.
