My phone contract is full access ( ROAM Included ) and sitting in my house it will sometimes go 4 full bars on Extended Network and then sometimes Zero bars, depending on phone traffic at the towers, If the FCC approves the Alltel / VERIZION Merger then at 18th and 136th there is a Alltel tower just near a mile away. Also anyone considering a cell extender ( IM A CET BTW and In electronics College, and a AMATEUR EXTRA CLASS ) if your signal is questionable with the antenna be surprised if moving the antenna may change reception 1 foot to 100 feet and foilage like trees will block the signal. EXAMPLE : I can sit in the house which BTW will drop your signal, outdoors alot of trees esp. sandy pines yeah you have a ton of trees, a open area with a 0.3 watt signal and verizion is CDMA on digital. not much power less power over a old 3 watt analog phone and a outdoor antenna or a bag phone. REASON not 3 watts ? FCC and Engineering reasons. don't ask me to explain it ( Very Technical ) BTW in order to get better reception and a tower lies with your Township or Zoning board and some people have a fit of seeing a stick 200 feet in the air and white panels ( maybe disguised as a pine tree hidden in the trees may help ) yes they have the technology just remember the old CB days of poor antenna installations.
