I do a lot of hiking and driving on forest service roads where I usually get intermittent (sometimes VERY intermittent) cell coverage. I've been considering purchasing a WeBoost overlander antenna for my truck. I know they can't magically get a non existent cell signal, but I'm really curious how much they can do. Does anyone here have one and can you give me some idea how much it has increased your cell coverage? Or anything that might help me determine if it would be a worthwhile investment? All I've seen thus far is all the marketing info and I don't really trust that - I'd really like some real world data.

Thanks

I have one on my Frontier and I've had it for a bit over a year. Is it worth it? I'd say so as long as you understand how it operates and the limitations. I have used it with Verizon and AT&T. It improves both, but it doesn't give me unlimited coverage area. If anything it extends the coverage area a bit for the basic cellular. For the Internet side of things, it depends on where you are as it can boost it too. When I'm putting around town I don't normally worry about turning it on, but when I travel or go on the trail, I turn it on and let it do its thing.
