The phone was free (some kind of refurbished deal) usage time is Unlimited (have that in writing). We have a Globalstar 1700 satellite phone. Question: Have you found anything that will take the boosted cell signal and broadcast it to the rest of the boat as a local network? Coming up empty so far. We get about 20 miles from a tower out of it. Your system – weboost + inside antenna works well. Being out on anchor can really put some distance between us and the tower, the more powerful antennas make a world of difference.

The weBoost 4G-X is the main device and comes with a basic outdoor and indoor antenna…but we upgraded both antennas and highly recommend doing so. WeBoost has been our go to for over six years because we’ve found nothing that preforms as well. Plus, some claim to do the job but will only disappoint. Some are even illegal to use in certain countries. Its important to know NOT all boosters are created equal. It’s saved our butts in the Bahamas, Panama, Ecuador and now French Polynesia!

I can’t tell you how many times we’ve been the only boat in the anchorage able to make calls or get online. It’s the difference of being able to work from the comfort of our traveling home or having to go into town and find somewhere with wifi. It’s amazing how many times this booster has taken us from no bars to 3 bars or from no data signal to 3g or 4g. Meaning it can help improve the quality of our calls and the speeds of our data. It works by boosting cell signals up to 32x and enhances 4G LTE and 3G signals. This is how we boost our cell and data signal inside the sailboat (same brand we used in the RV too).
