Living in the country is great. No noisy neighbors, plenty of fresh air, and very peaceful. Unfortunately there is a price for all this: modern technology just doesn’t work as well out here. We have no cable, and our only option for high speed Internet is satellite. The biggest inconvenience is our cell phone service.

I get fair reception on my front porch, but once I step inside the house, those bars drop. I’m lucky if I can make a call inside most days. Usually even if it shows one bar, my call will be dropped. Sometimes it’s just impossible to stand outside to make a phone call.

Here is the signal I receive outside.

And the signal inside, on a good day.

Since we do not have a home phone, I’ve been looking into buying a universal cell phone booster from Powerful Signal to help with reception at the house. It’s sad when my Mom calls, who lives a few hundred feet away, and the call gets dropped. A cell phone booster could be just the thing to help make phone calls from within our home. When you depend solely on your cell phone, it needs to work when you need it to.

Also, the reception on the road to work is spotty. So having a universal cell phone booster from Powerful Signal could be used either at home or in the car would be a great help to ensure we have a cell signal when we need it. Here is the signal a mile from our home.

So, not only do we have poor reception at our house but have poor reception around our house. A cell phone booster would work with both of our carriers and work either at home or in the car. That way we could always make a call when we need to and isn’t that the point of having a cell phone anyway?
