Different cell phone boosters for home?


Due to large constructions in the recent past my house in Kansas city is now surrounded with tall buildings and instances of call drops, network and service problems with my Virgin cell has really become a common experience. I tried a lot of advices from my friends and other sources but nothing really worked out. Since the problem has raised several pars i thought of using cell phone booster for home but its really very difficult to find the right booster. Any suggestions you would like to give for choosing the right booster.

There are ads on television, and ads on the internet, selling “powerboosters” for hand held cell phones. The ads say, attach this wafer thin strip to your cell phone, and the power booster will increase reception 30 to 40 percent. The ads also say: Lightweight, less than an ounce.Works on any cell phone. Easy to install, just stick it on.The fact is, this is all a scam. The device does not work... Without getting into the physics of why it does not work, ask yourself why this product carries no FCC label and there are no independent laboratories to back up their claims? We have tested the device and found that the signal strength never increased. The device does nothing. Suffice it to say that those people that have purchased it have been scammed. Not all boosters are scams. Most are, but ONLY 3-watt power boosters work. Note that these are not the 'Sticker boosters' that you just place behind a battery. This is electrical hardware antenna and amplifier you plug into your phone. These boosters are currently only compatible with TDMA, CDMA, PCS, and GSM phones.as you mentioned you have virgin networks which has both cdma and gsm connetions, this 3-watt booster may give you desired resultsIf you want to find more information out go to a search engine and lookfor 3-watt cellular booster amps or something similar to that.
