Boost your cellphone signal

Here’s an interesting piece from Popular Science. It explains how you can magnify your cellphone signal from the deadspot in your house. Of course, you could have plotted your home to where there was a signal, but that was ages ago right? All that mattered was that you weren’t under an electric post that could potentially give you cancer.

Single-Phone Home
Equipment: Wired, carrier-specific amplifier, such as the Signalwide ClickitBase ($230; signalwide.com), connected to your phone.

The antenna doesn’t have to be outside, but it will work better if it is. Inside, your phone attaches directly to the amp with a handset-specific cable or a mini-antenna, called an inductive coupler, stuck to the handset. Since the phone is tethered, use a Bluetooth headset to roam around the house.
