Home is 3 acres. 7-40-60 year old oaks surround the house. Metal roof nailed to old shingle roof.

Any suggestions on how to increase signal without spending a kings ransom to cut down all the trees?

Have tried a cell booster, and it didn’t work. Kinda desperate.

Wifi calling not an option?

I suppose it is. How do you turn that on an Apple phone? Is that the iMessage thing?

Sorry, android here. Hopefully someone with an iPhone will chime in. It works for my buddies at the fishing camp using starlink

Eta

Android is a button on the quick menu. With Apple I think it's buried in the settings somewhere.

Found instructions on apples website. LINK

Settings, Cellular, Wi-Fi Calling.

Turn it on and accept terms. Verify 911 address.

What cell booster did you try? We are in BFE mtns, and a storm took out some towers several months ago. Still get flawless calls and 4g data.

We have a weboost connect 4g the previous owner installed. Without it there’s basically no cell signal for miles around us.

I get 5G intermittently at night sometimes and would like 5G more often because we rely on our hotspot data a lot and have only 150gig total a month before getting throttled to 600kbps. With 5G UWB Verizon says even the throttled speeds are 1-3mbps which Roku handles well.

Sorry for hijack. In short I’m looking to upgrade my booster.
