How to Improve Cell Phone Coverage in My Home?

In this blog we'll show you how easy it is to get more bars of cell phone reception in your home. We explore three primary ways to get more bars: femtocells, cell phone repeaters, and direct-wire antennas.

Learn more about each of options below to enjoy better cell phone reception throughout your home.


If you're interested in boosting the signal for a single cell phone, a direct-wire antenna could be the option for you. The direct-wire antenna method of boosting cellular signal includes an antenna that mounts on the outside of your building, or even your car.


If your home or office is in a cellular dead zone or you make most of your calls from inside a building where cellular reception is low, a cell repeater can help you boost reception. A cellular repeater includes an antenna, an amplifier, and a coaxial cable that connects them. The antenna is placed either outside your building or on a window (via suction cups), and then you can string the coaxial cable to the most convenient spot to place the amplifier.


A femtocell acts like a miniaturized cell tower in your home, creating an access point for both voice and data that provides better reception than what you might be getting from the nearby cell tower. In addition to the femtocell device (available from cell providers--check their website for more information), you need an Internet connection and a home LAN (wired or wireless network).

We'll be adding to and updating this list as new information comes available so check back in every once in awhile to see what's new.
