Hey. Im in need of a signal booster. Im with att and the service is good down the street, but is really bad at my house. We live not even a mile from one and att's strongest towers, but Im in a rural area with lots of woods and the land is slightly dipped. The microcell said good, but i don't have broadband. I use my phone for gaming on my ps3, but i can't hold a steady signal. I usually only have one bar and go between 4g, 3g and edge.

From what I've seen, looks like the zboost yx545 can boost data and voice. I want to be sure. Hspa data also

If I were you, I would give AT&T a call and discuss my concern with them. Hopefully they might have a solution for you.

Also, here is an application that might work for you. http://03mi.qr.ai. What it does is to give you a better connection to the best available network cell site around you.

I hope you'll find a solution for this problem.

I tried several different apps and Real Signal is absolutely monstrous. One or two bars and Im getting 4 to 5 megs now. I couldn't imagine what it would do with full bars. Only problem is it keeps the gps on.

Before and after time. Ignore the bars you see now. Im in town working.

A bad signal before the app:


A good signal before the app. Downturn in the city:


A bad signal with app:


A good signal on the edge of town. Probably not a strong signal but full bars. It was still going when it stopped:


Amazing right?

If you read in the instructions of the app it says,

For general signal monitoring, DO NOT keep GPS tracking enabled. This will kill your battery quickly! It's not Real Signal that is killing your battery, its the GPS receiver.
