[Hidden-tech] Verizon Wireless cell reception boosting

[Duane Dale]

I have a "range extender" (a.k.a. "network extender") on the way to me from
Verizon Wireless.

This happened after several tech support calls to VZW, a new SIM card, etc.
didn't help.

Here is a link to the user's manual of the one they're sending me:
https://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/network_extender_user_manual.pdf
It plugs into a DSL-modem or cable-modem-router and creates a mini cell
tower -- so I think it's the same or similar to what David K. has suggested.
It seems to deal only with calls, not data; extending the range of the
wireless router function would be a different kind of device.

There seems to be a nominal price of $500 and an actual retail of $250 at
VZW stores.
A third-party VZW store told me I could get an additional $150 off = $100,
but in the end, the tech support person I had talked to the most said
they'd send it for free, since I seem to be in a marginal coverage area.

(The problem I was experiencing most was that either I sounded garbled to
the person I was talking too, or they would stop hearing me all together.)
