[Asterisk-Users] OT: Cellular boosters

[Colin Anderson]

We use Motorola v551's as "extensions" on our Asterisk system with a
homebrew find me/follow me dialplan. It works great except where coverage is
poor then of course the inbound call hits voicemail. This has nothing to do
with Asterisk and everything to do with our cellular provider, but since you
guys are telephony pros I'd like to ask if anyone has had any good or bad
experience with gain boosters for cells from those snake oil stick on things
all the way up to powered one-watt boosters. Ideally, I'd like a situation
where I replace the stock OEM antenna with something else for $10 and away I
go. I have a hundred guys with v551s that are pissed about missed calls, so
any and all suggestions are welcome. tia
