Wilson Amplifiers specializes in Verizon signal boosters, whether at home or on the go. Verizon cell boosters take existing cell signal, even if weak, and amplify it within a confined space.
Verizon cell phone boosters for homes are particularly effective at solving weak signal issues for suburban and rural Americans. Verizon cell phone boosters for vehicles reduce or eliminate dead zones while driving, allowing constant connectivity even in remote areas.
Each Verizon signal booster is different, with different coverage areas and specs. If you have any questions about finding the best Verizon signal booster for your home or vehicle, talk to our experts at 1-800-568-2723 for a free consultation.
Verizon cell boosters are devices created to extend and improve Verizon cell coverage. They are designed to be installed in homes, vehicles, offices, and large enterprise spaces, and will not work outdoors.
The Three Parts to a Verizon Signal Booster:
While you might already know why it's a good idea to have a Verizon home cell booster installed in your house, there are a multitude of other benefits to having one you may not know. A few of the other advantages of home phone signal boosters include the following:
Improved Safety
Whether you experience extreme flooding, a tornado, or other dangerous situations, you'll want to have reliable phone reception in your house — and a Verizon cell phone booster will ensure you do. When you install a Verizon signal booster for home, you can have peace of mind knowing that you'll be able to make successful emergency calls during serious situations.
Less Battery Usage
Did you know that owning a Verizon cell phone booster for your home can help you save the battery life of your cellular device? The weaker the cell phone signal is, the harder your device works to search for it. By creating a stronger signal with your cell booster for homes, your battery won't drain nearly as fast.
Verizon Signal Boosters are Perfectly Legal – Provided They Have FCC Approval
The FCC laid down a series of rules and regulations for cell signal boosters to follow way back in 2014. Since then, cell phone signal boosters for Verizon have required FCC approval before they can be sold, so as not to interfere with the Verizon network.
All boosters sold on WilsonAmplifiers are pre-approved by the FCC, meaning you can buy without worry that the feds will end up knocking on your door.
Verizon Signal Boosters Require Existing Signal to Work, and Their Effective Coverage Area Depends on the Strength of Your Outside Verizon Signal
Verizon cell phone boosters don’t create Verizon signal. Rather, they take what’s there, amplify it, and rebroadcast it in a confined space. If you’ve got weak outdoor signal, you’ll get less coverage than if you had strong signal, but the Verizon signal will still be usable.
For example, let’s say there’s one area on your property you can make calls, but everywhere else you can’t connect. Even in that area, the signal is spotty. If you set up your outdoor antenna in the one area you can make a call, you’ll find you can now cover several rooms in your house with Verizon signal, but aren’t likely to be able to cover an entire 5,000 sq ft house.
That said, the Verizon signal received from a Verizon signal booster will be more reliable than you’d receive at the one spot you can receive signal, since outdoor cellular antennas are capable of reaching cell towers numerous miles away.
Verizon Signal Boosters Don’t Need WiFi or Any Other Type of Signal to Work
A Verizon cell phone booster only needs some existing cell signal and a power supply to work. It’s not reliant on any other networks. In fact, it’s better at CREATING WiFi through a cellular hotspot than requiring WiFi itself.
Verizon Signal Boosters are One Time Purchases, With No Monthly or Hidden Fees
Once you’ve got the best Verizon cell phone booster, it’s yours. You don’t need to pay a service fee, or an installation fee, or any additional fees of any kind. It just works.
Our Verizon Signal Boosters are Cross Compatible With Other Carriers
If you ever plan to switch carriers, you’re in luck. The best Verizon signal boosters are multi-carrier compatible. This means if you ever switch from Verizon to T-Mobile or Verizon to AT&T, your cell phone signal booster will continue to work. The outside antenna may need a slight adjustment if you’re using a Verizon signal booster for home, but that’s it.
The best booster for Verizon cell phones depends on your need.
What is the Best Verizon Cell Phone Booster for Home?
If you’re looking for the best Verizon cell booster for homes, we usually recommend the weBoost Home MultiRoom as a good starting point. The weBoost Home MultiRoom is rated for up to 5,000 sq ft of additional Verizon coverage inside buildings.
Should you need anything larger, the best Verizon signal booster overall is the weBoost Installed Home Complete. This is more powerful than the MultiRoom – covering up to 7,500 sq ft - and comes with professional installation regardless of your ZIP code.
What is the Best Verizon Cell Phone Booster for Vehicles?
This is an easy one – for nearly all Verizon customers, we recommend the weBoost Drive Reach as the best Verizon signal booster for vehicles.
Depending on the vehicle you drive, you’ll want to get the right kit for the Reach. The base kit is great for ordinary cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks, but if you’re driving a big rig or just want a little extra kick for your ride, get the weBoost Drive Reach OTR kit.
If you’re an off-roader or overlander, get yourself the weBoost Drive Reach Overland. You’ll be glad you did.
There are RV versions of the Reach, too. If you need the best Verizon signal booster for your RV, consider the weBoost Drive Reach RV for mobile use or the weBoost Destination RV for stationary use.
Finally, if you’re on a budget or rarely drive through dead zones any larger than a minute or two, we recommend either the weBoost Drive Sleek or weBoost Drive X. The Drive Sleek is a cradle Verizon signal booster which only works on a single device at a time, while the Drive X is a less powerful version of the Drive Reach.
No!
The Verizon signal reaching your phone is the same no matter your phone manufacturer or internal software.
However, you might find the number of bars on different phone manufacturers to be different. That’s why we recommend reading up on the best way to read cell phone signal strength.
It varies a great deal depending on how much cable you’re willing to show and what booster you buy, but a drill, ladder, wrench, electrical tape, and mounting tools will be helpful no matter the situation.
None! Mobile Verizon signal boosters are designed to be installed in 5 or 10 minutes.
For outdoor antennas, we generally recommend Yagi antennas for rural and suburban areas and omnidirectional antennas for urban areas.
For indoors, dome antennas are most useful if you’re trying to cover a wide open area, and panels are better for thinner rooms and hallways.
We recommend the OpenSignal app or Network Cell Info Lite to get a bead on where your nearest cell tower is. You can also use CellMapper.net to find where your nearest tower is on a satellite map.
OpenSignal if you have an iPhone or Network Cell Info Lite on Android. Network Cell Info Lite is our preferred option, but it is unavailable on iPhones.
It’s a logarithmic metric by which radio wave strength is measured. +3 dB of gain equals roughly double the power. So an increase of +8 dB of gain is roughly four and a half times as powerful a signal.
Some cell phone signal boosters for homes are capable of bringing down the entire cellular network. These are illegal. FCC-compliant boosters can be safely registered and used without risking the integrity of the network for everyone else.
Yes, all signal boosters are packaged as complete kits. There are optional accessories, such as a pole mount, that can also aid in installation, and tools may be required.
