Cell Phone Signal Booster For Travel

Met all expectations. Also using it to improve cell phone signal.

Works as expected. You definitely need a signal booster when using a cable this long.

Almost a must have if you venture anywhere cell phone signal doesn't exist. My family appreciates that I can still check in while in the back country. Screen is easily readable, good battery life for such a small device. Decent cell phone apps to assist in communication.

I mainly got this because I roam remote areas alone, sometimes without a cell signal. I like its tracking ability, although I have a tracking app also on my phone. My friends can view my whereabouts on either MapShare or the tracking app, which I like. I use my phone as a topo mapping device, with downloaded maps so phone signal doesn't matter. I carry the little Mini-2 everywhere. I am still on a learning curve using the Explore app, but getting better.

I feel safe when I go sailing and I don't have a cell phone signal, and having this device for any emergency feels good.

You do not need to match your cell provider . Reason for the two is off you have signal from Verizon in your hunting spot and not At&T but the Verizon one . The camera send to the app on your phone no matter who your provider is . Was very easy to set up , I watch a YouTube video first . The pictures on your phone will not look the best quality, but when you down load the SD card they are very clear and good . It will take and save pictures even if you lose cell service. BH photos had the best price and I had my camera in 3 days ! Buying a second one before season starts . Don’t hesitate to try one . No fees and you can go month by month if you want . Mike

I haven’t bought this very long ago and have only had it out of cell phone range once. It easily picked up the satellite signal, the weather conditions, and my track back. Very impressive so far.

The Polsen XP-2 2-Channel Microphone Signal Booster is not something I realized I needed until I started using it. I am using it to boost the signal on my desk microphone and it's connected through my Senal USB adapter which provides the phantom power. It can add up to 25db of clean gain which is impressive. I didn't realize the difference this would make until I actually hooked it up and started using it daily. I no longer have to be right up on my microphone to get a reasonable signal output. The other application I tried this out with was some interviews I recently shot where the interview subject was soft-spoken. Being able to get that extra gain really came in handy. I like that the xlr has locking connectors and that this is plug-and-play. It's made of all metal and feels rugged so it should hold up to some punishment over time. It works great, now the only issue is I have to buy another to match my other setup. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

I really like the inReach Messenger. It is easy to use. I travel a lot outside of cell phone range, especially driving, hiking and bicycling. This allows me to call for help if I need it, and to check in with my wife to let her know everything is okay. She can follow my location throughout my trip. If something were to happen to me, like an injury or crash, I can call for help. Otherwise, it might take a long time for me to be found. The battery lasts for a very long time on a charge.

I bought this as an alternative for listening to music on my cell phone. I travel a lot and this is super compact and avoids draining my cell battery on long flights. It is easy to upload music and the menu operation is simple to use. The quality is quite good given the low cost.
