We had no cell service at our Northern farm, but a booster with the antenna on the roof solved that. I don't think it was anything too fancy, but wasn't the cheapest model either (probably about $500 if my memory serves me?). My former boss didn't have any signal either and couldn't get anything even with a booster, so he took my old TV antenna and mounted the booster on top of that. He says he has amazing service now. As others have mentioned, you need to have at least some signal to be able to boost it, but boosters seem to be pretty good at picking up faint signal that might not register on a cell phone. And you can mount a booster antenna higher up where it gets a signal. An extra 10 or 15 feet higher sometimes makes a huge difference. Before we got a booster you could sometimes get a signal and make calls by just standing on the deck, putting the phone on speaker, and holding it up as high as you could reach.
