Sounds just like the antennas for cell phones in cars that were used in the 90s.
Move to Bangladesh?
Same problem here in Silicon Valley. At our house, if I want a decent non-dropping cell connection, I have to sit on the patio or on the bench in the front yard (that’s a pain in the cold months). I’ve been thinking of installing a house cell signal booster, but I’m too stingy in retirement.
I know a dozen dead spots around here while driving. One particularly bad one is by Stanford University. Another couple are up in the hills with the very posh $10 to $15 million homes (on my way to mountain hikes). I avoid any calls when I’m going anywhere near those dead spots. The funny thing is I can go on some remote hikes in the hills and get good reception.
Fortunately, my podcasts and music apps cache enough data so that I can ride through the dead zones without losing music or talk.
Maybe one of these people should put a nice big cell phone tower on their $10 million dollar property. Right where everyone can see it. That would solve the problem.
“Just drive and stop worrying about the damn phone.”
Hey DINGBAT - How are we supposed to text if we don’t have cell phone coverage? (jk)
The devices, made by companies such as weBoost, Wilson Amplifiers and Cel-Fi, sell for around $500.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So does anyone have any experience with these devices? Are these the best ones to consider or are there cheaper alternatives? I have a place on the ragged edge of cell service and am looking to boost the signal enough to make it work, set up a computer as a hot spot on occasion etc.
Yes, fretting/obsessing over constant phone connections could be suggestive of some underlying psychological issues. Reinforcing their own sense of importance, as it were.
For whatever reason, this article made me think of South Africa, where criminal gangs now use military-grade signal jammers when they invade white farms and rob homes. It blocks all cellphone and radio communications in the areas they are targeting
Promotional post?!
BS. In a month you’ll be the nob if you DON’T have one.

As a child, I crossed the entire US three times and Canada coast to coast. My father wasn’t able to receive a cell phone signal at any time during the trip. How did we survive?

My oldest daughter lives very rural in south middle TN
Not like Nevada rural but a severe hollow in Moore county
Environs of Jack HQ
They have a booster set up with a 70 foot antenna
And it works
Like the windmills and illegal aliens, put those near the homes of The Deplorables.
The ghost of little Eddie.....
They should all buy ELON MUSK’S, OWNER OF X, who just gave air time to the evyil Donalt J Trump, Starlink.
Let them know what it’s like having to use the products of a company ‘they’ hate for once.
It begs the question of why are there no cell towers serving the Hamptons? Could it be that the smug liberals are blocking them from being built in their backyard? I have adequate cell service at our cabin in northern Minnesota and even have fiber optic Internet even though we are some 20 miles from a city of moderate size and are located off a dirt road by a lake.
Can’t they just do what everyone else does and install a cell tower?
people in the Hamptons wondering why people don’t want to hear from them.
Send back some more illegals it’ll give them somebody to talk to.
