Understanding what your cell phone carrier's network technology is can be very import. If you use Boost Mobile Cell Phones it is important to know that your phone uses CDMA technology so you can better understand why you might be having signal trouble.

Boost Mobile Cell Phones, like all cell phones, have very sensitive signals. Sometimes, even in an area covered by your carrier, you can't get a good signal. The least you can do is check a carrier's coverage map for dead-spots (areas with no reception at all), which is a must-do before choosing a carrier. Boost Mobile Cell Phones can get a signal almost everywhere, but the strength and quality of the signal can change frequently and is affected by many factors: the condition of your phone, its battery power and if you're in better area for GSM or CDMA Cell Phones.

When far from the "hot" areas and having problems receiving a strong, high-quality signal, there aren't many things to do. But if you're only receiving a weak signal, there may be a way to help you with getting a better signal: a cell phone signal booster. A regular dual band cell booster can cover up to 4000 square ft. and can extend the coverage for one or multiple users at home, in your car, or in an office. Again, effectiveness depends on your particular conditions and location.

It is very important to understand that boosters cannot create a good signal out of very bad signals or no signals at all. However, a booster is capable of amplifying a weak signal into a rather good one.

What's a "good" signal? In cellular phones, the signal strength indicator is a very relative measure for call quality - on some phones you'll be able to make a call with just 1 reception bar, and although the phone will be using more battery power than it would with 4 bars - it will operate just fine.
The only measurement of strength or quality of signal to your phone is whether or not you can make or receive calls in normal to good quality.

*tip: If you have a phone with an external antenna (by external I mean you can SEE the antenna, like in the older NOKIA phones), get a twist-tie (those little things you get in the supermarket to tie up small sandwich bags) that has the metal wire running through it. Wrap it around the antenna and tape it down using duct tape. A home-made mini booster, very easy to make and really works!

It is also recommended that you check up your mobile device. Cell phones get better reception and quality signals when new, then less and less as they are used more and more and the antenna is worn out.
