We often camp far from mobile reception and happily accept this. Often we deliberately camp in such areas to be blissfully incommunicado! However, our 'eco-warrior' son recently convinced us to (very reluctantly) cease buying newspapers and get them on computer/phoneI only need a minor boost, say from 1-2 bars to 2-3 bars, and want to keep it as simple (and cheap!) as possible. I was hoping for an antenna with a lead that could plug straight into an android phone that is loose in the ute. Am I dreaming?Can anyone on this wonderful forum shed some light on this murky subject?
I've been using ZCG mobile phone aerials mounted to a bonnet mount or bullbar bracket for last 6 years, 3 of those in the Goldfields of WA and Pilbara. Aust made and only a little dearer than the other options.Hope this is some useful info. Its what has and is working for me in marginal reception areas.
Btw a repeater that receives no signal can only regenerate nothing.Mark
Rural calls will move to VOIP as StarLink is changing satelite data costs for the better. If you have a good data connection, then a 4 or 5G connection means nothing with VOIP.
'why wont my phone charge quicker in the ute?' - I'm now on to that too!
I plan to fit a 12V to usb converter rated at 3A in an effort to rectify the issue.
