    I am inquiring if any of you have any experience in extending the range of you cell phone signal. I have been in this community for a while and have not seen much about this issue.
    Happy Labor Day.

    I've used a cell signal booster for years …. from Wilson Electronics.

    I used one for years. Wilson is one of the only names in the industry for personal use. Would use again.

    It can be done of course, but curious why you feel the need to. Over other comm choices that is.

    Modding my truck for cross country trip in two years when retired. I just would feel safer and it is a shame I need to check the internet time to time for various issues and investments.

    LLOD has a video on these and other comms add ons and what you get from each on his YouTube channel I believe. Was really informative!

    A cell booster can be good to have. Traveling cross country, you may want to look at getting a Ham radio license. Can be a fun hobby and give you people to talk to if you are traveling alone.
