How To Extend Cell Phone Range In The Middle Of Nowhere

Here’s another real-life story about a solution for poor cell phone reception. This one is from Al Lounsbury in Canada who couldn’t get a reliable cell phone signal at his getaway cabin in northern Ontario.

As Al says:

“It’s beautiful and peaceful there, but the nearest grocery store is 30 minutes away in a town with a population of less than 1,000 people. Cell coverage is spotty at best. If I’m on top of a hill on a clear day, I might be able to pull in one bar on my mobile. In fact, many renters in the area take a daily walk to the top of a nearby hill just to receive their text messages and emails.”

Al didn’t want to take the daily hike up the hill. Or maybe he just wanted to see his text messages and emails as they hit his in-box instead of waiting, as well as make and receive calls. So he figured out a solution to get reliable cell phone coverage even out in the middle of nowhere.
