Cell Repeater Or Booster

[SkunkedAgain]

I'm wondering if anyone has experience using a cell repeater or booster for cell service. I've got a north-facing cabin on a hill. If I climb up a tree (literally) I get a few bars and reliable service. If I hike to the tall ridge about 1/2 mile away I get a good signal, I suppose because these spots all have a better line of site with the towers to the south. I'm thinking about getting a booster or repeater to mount on a massive red pine just behind my cabin. There's a lot of options on the market so I'm hoping a few of you can help narrow down the options with some real-world experience on Vermilion.

We have this one and it works well for Verizon and AT&T  https://www.wilsonamplifiers.com/weboost-connect-4g-cell-phone-signal-booster-kit-470103/

Thanks. That's one of the ones that I was considering.

I also have a north facing cabin at the bottom of the hill and I have the Weboost as well.  without it I just barely have reception and with it mounted to the outside of the cabin I can get enough reception for calla and texts (2-3 bars) and slow internet. I plan on mounting it in a tree this spring and should get better reception yet. I paid $399 at best buy for mine about a year ago.

If you need them to bring cell phone signal booster and install it for you, try this company that did a splendid job for me: https://www.signalbooster.com/products/cell-phone-signal-booster-plus-installation

I bought the Phonetone for $180. I am on the north side of Pine.  I barely got 1 bar in the cabin and after I temporarily set it up on the deck I went to a full 4 bars with Verizon. Good so far.
