Remember back in the olden days when we set off on holiday road trips and we didn’t have a cell phone?

If we were to break down on the side of the road, it would be a total nightmare trying to get to the next town for assistance. The situation ignited the imagination of horror film makers who capitalized on our inherent fear of being stranded in the middle of nowhere. Famous horror movies like “Dead End”, “Wolf Creek”, “Jeepers Creepers”, “Breakdown” and “The Hills Have Eyes” played on these fears and is probably why cell phones were invented in the first place! 

No one wants to get stuck in a bad situation without access to a phone.

Breaking Down in A Secluded Spot 

These days we have cell phones to use in our vehicles, but we don’t always have connectivity. The old primal terror of being stuck on a dark, lonely road without being able to call for help, terrifies us. 

Thank goodness for the cell phone booster!!

We might hit the highway on a business trip, heading out into a rural area to visit a client, and as we get further away from the city we could start to experience a weaker signal and sometimes complete signal loss. The panic can start to rise as we imagine a man with a mask and a chainsaw strolling across the road. Our loss of signal is coming from our distance to the nearest cell tower and/or all of the obstructions between your phone antenna and the cell tower. Your car’s materials, like glass and metal, could interfere with getting a good signal. 

When you are out in a remote area, the most likely culprit of poor reception is that you are far away from the source of the signal. Perhaps the obstruction from the surrounding mountains, hills or forests are getting in the way. But fortunately, you have some protection against the irrational horror film motifs - a powerful cell phone booster. 

Let me not give away the plot too early…

When You Need to Warn the World of the Next Zombie Apocalypse

In the city you are also not safe from horror movie fantasies in your head. Connectivity can suddenly disappear right when you are entering an unknown area and your GPS stops working. 

Suddenly you are lost in a dodgy area, your fuel gauge is low and you start to imagine the worst. 

Driving in urban areas means there are more people using the signal from the cell towers and you are competing with thousands of people to stay connected. You could find yourself with dropped calls and the inability to text, email or go online. 

You can’t even post your trauma to your favorite social media platform.

If a dangerous zombie gang suddenly descended on your car, you wouldn’t even be able to live stream the event.

When you are driving in your car, minivan, RV or truck you are in constant motion and this also impedes your cell phone’s ability to receive a good signal. You end up experiencing spotty reception and a very weak signal.

Choosing Between a 3G & 4G Signal Booster

If you are looking for a signal booster that is great for talk and text with basic 3G internet capability, then a 3G Booster is your best bet. It provides good reception. But if you are looking for super fast internet then you need to look at investing in the 4G signal booster option. 4G satisfies the heavy data users who like streaming YouTube videos, listening to their Spotify playlist, downloading podcasts or are constantly online. You are able to get a 3G and 4G cell phone booster for single or multi-user.
