Cell phone booster

[JSK76]

I fish on lakes that have adequate cell reception and never had an issue getting a signal I'm my old fish house that had metal pole barn siding but for some reason I can get a signal in my Ice Cabin fish house.

If the signal is strong outside of the house what's the best way to get it inside other then adding more windows? I looked at some signal boosters but not sure what I need since I have good signal strength outside the fish house. I don't what to over spend, my cousin is using a Wilson dual band and it cost around $300.00 and it works great but I think that would be more for when your out of range of a tower. Signal is good outside the house, I just need to get it in.

I'd say the best way is a repeater. Just a tip here, and don't take it the wrong way -- you're going to get 100x more information on sites that are dedicated to this technology than you will on a fishing HSOforum. What product you buy will depend on what your provider is and what band(s) you need, how you want to power it, etc. I suggest that you google "cell phone booster" or "cell phone repeater" and you'll have all the information you can handle, rather than waiting for the 5 replies on this site that will give you tidbits of information that might or might not be relevant to your exact situation.

I have one like your buddies at my hunting camp. The diff is that the less expensive one only boost the inside signal a few feet from the indoor antenna(you have an indoor and an outdoor)which may be fine for a fish house but the desktop $150-$200 one may only project about 6 ft. which would probably be just fine. That's the biggest difference in high cost to low cost,outside of gain which you're fine with if the outside signal is strong, is the distance from the indoor ant they project. Wilson is hands down the leader in the industry and easy to hook up. Their customer service is exemplary also. The easiest way is if you phone will accept a $30 wired antenna.
