Cell phone boosters is what they are called.

Bestbuy has some.

I've had the Wilson "wireless" booster, the range on it was about 2 feet. I found the cradle booster just as good as long as you don't mind your phone on speaker. They make a huge difference, take you from zero service to at least 2 bars.

Look into the cell boosters used in camps and remote areas. Wilson cell boosters are very good in vehicles, albeit with a limited range of effect. I would imagine that their house boosters would be significantly more effective.

I used my Wilson when I lived in the country. They do have a limited range though.

We have one at work that will boost the whole building. Works well but I think that it was $1200 installed

We have a Wilson with the wall mounted attenans inside works awesome all over our place other wise ya couldn't make a call. If your house is bigger ya just add addistional ones. Think it was around 500 bucks. Just make sure your roof antenna isn't close to the inside one or it will make dead spots
