Best Cell Phone Signal Booster for Cars

Wireless providers and carrier networks serve almost the entire population in urban and rural areas throughout the country. However, according to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), some cell phone users still experience weak or nonexistent signals in fringe service areas. These gaps in coverage can cause reception loss, dropped calls, and sluggish data speeds.

If you happen to be traveling through one of these dead zones, you may find yourself unable to make an urgent phone call or connect to your GPS to map your route.

Fortunately, having a cell phone signal booster in your car can help eliminate poor coverage and increase your carrier’s signal strength, so you can stay connected while on the move.

How cell phone boosters work in a car

Regardless of whether you are near a cell tower, cell phone signal boosters for cars improve your connectivity while driving. A signal booster uses a powerful antenna to amplify voice and data signals sent to your phone from a cell tower and then delivers the boosted signals back to the cell tower.

There are three components to the process:

• An outside antenna pulls a signal from a cell tower into your vehicle.
• An amplifier boosts the signal being received by the outside antenna.
• An inside antenna distributes the boosted signal for use in your car.

So, how do you choose the best signal booster for cell phones in your car that will work for you? We offer a variety of car cell phone signal boosters to fit your unique needs: Drive Reach, Drive X, and Drive Sleek.

Why choose a weBoost car cell phone signal booster?

In addition, weBoost cell phone signal boosters are FCC-certified, which is an important distinction when choosing a signal booster for your vehicle.

In 2013, the FCC developed industry standards that require cell phone signal boosters to be certified. With the implementation of government regulations, manufacturers became accountable for the quality and performance of their products.

During the certification process, independent labs oversee product testing and share results with the public to protect consumers. So, before purchasing a cell phone signal booster, make sure it’s FCC-certified, which guarantees the booster has met rigorous government standards.

Why you need a cell phone signal booster for your car

If you’re like most people, you probably spend a fair amount of time behind the wheel. According to a survey by AAA, Americans drive more than 220 miles per week, and 96% of them have cell phones that they depend on to stay connected, especially in emergency situations.

It’s impossible to know the precise moment that a cell phone is most needed. Some drivers take reliable connectivity for granted and then find themselves in a remote area where cell service is sluggish or even nonexistent. Fortunately, you don’t have to be vulnerable and in a difficult situation.

Whether you’re navigating traffic in a busy city or driving on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, a weBoost cell phone signal booster in your car provides security and peace of mind.
