Title: Cell phone / iPad Antenna Booster
Post by: Richard Higley on October 22, 2013, 12:55:28 PM

Looking to increase my cell phone / iPad signal while on the road and in RV resorts where coverage is marginal. Need recommendations for a quality 4G cell phone antenna booster. Thanks for your help.

Rich,

I have read a lot of things posted by Jack Mayer and I believe he is a good source on communication for rvers.

He has a wealth of information on his website on all sorts of things. I have contacted him in the past and he responds pretty quickly. I believe he is tester for a number of products.

The Wilson Sleek is the only affordable device at the moment that will provide both 4G and 3G amplification for smart phones.  It can be used with a tablet or iPad but its cradle isn't designed for an object that large.  However, if you Velcro'd it to the tablet it should work reasonably well.  Using your phone as a hot spot does not cost extra if your carrier is Verizon and you are using one of the Shared Everything plans.
