How It Works
Signal boosters increase cell signal by collecting signals with a powerful antenna, delivering those signals to the booster, amplifying the cell signals so your devices receive them, and delivering your device's boosted signals back to the cell tower.
Receives
Signal
The outside antenna reaches out to the cell tower to access voice and data signals.
Transmits
Signal
The booster receives the outside signal from the outside antenna.
Boosts
Signal
The booster amplifies the outside signal up to 32x, and sends it to the inside antenna.
Expands
Signal
The inside antenna broadcasts the boosted signal inside the vehicle.

Absolutely epic!
This thing is amazing. I live in a Sportsmobile 4x4 converted van and work remotely. Without the weBoost 4G-X I was finding myself tied down to urban areas during the "work week" and really being frustrated that my off grid capabilities were being impacted by Verizon's network coverage. I was up in Banff National Park and had 1 bar of LTE from my campsite, it was super unreliable and I ended up spending most of my time parked in my van in town. I had to fly home to CA for a quick wedding and while in CA I purchased the 4G-X. I flew back with the device set it up on the van in about 10-minutes (super simple). To my amazement, I went from 1 bar LTE up to 4 bar LTE! I was able to spend a full week in a back country campsite and had a super productive work week because of this device. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone that needs to stay connected and can't afford satellite internet data plans. I have even engineered a way to make this thing portable! Also, the device is super rugged. The antenna is small and super durable. We are always driving 4x4 trails in all sorts of weather and the antenna can take some serious abuse. It still looks and functions as if it was brand new. Awesome product, I highly recommend.

It works...
Use this in my semi. Im usually right outside of a good service area, i can drive 5 to 10 minutes and be back in an lte area. When I first started I wasnt seeing a great improvement so i called customer service. I was told it only boosts 3g signal and I would have to turn the lte off. Downloaded the rf monitor app and as far as i can see it only boosts it from about -97 to -82 or so. It does work though. I can connect to facebook, the internet is slow but usually works. Things like youtube or videos on facebook are hit and miss. It was easy to install, took me about 20 minutes. Overall i have recommended it to friends because it is an improvement but i also encouraged them to shop around and see if they can find a better deal on a different booster similar to this one. Given the chance i wouldnt spend another $546.74 on it.
a lot of $$$
I have installed over 1000 cradle points and none of the provide has provided me with your booster I have used sierra wireless , ATT ,Verizon and Sprint, all companies declined to use a booster, why is this Install in rural Utah/Wyoming/Idaho/Colorad/Nevada
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Works better than expected!!
I had a 3G Wilson booster for 10 years or so and it worked great, I believe this booster is stronger. If this product is not boosting your signal then you installed it incorrectly or it's defective. As you can see by my pictures it drastically increased my service, now I have better service in remote areas with this booster than I had anywhere without it. Worth every penny, I bought a second one for my wife's car. Hopefully these boosters last for a few years when I have to buy another one for 5G service. Weboost please make your site smart phone friendly for writing reviews, I had to type this review on my notes and copy/paste.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Unbelievable increase in cell phone signals.
I am totally amazed by the signal increase I am getting in my pickup truck. First day I only saw an increase of 20 dB, but several days later I see an increase, depending on where in town or out of town I am, of up to 60 dB. Actually seems to get even better when I go out of town, seems like the worse the signal in the area is the better it works. As with the Home version, placement of the external and internal antennas is a big factor in how well it works. With the vehicle one, having a "bounce plane" helps capture the outside signal. I was worried with a pickup truck (extended cab) that the bounce plane was a small piece of roof top, I put it as far back on the roof I could and it worked ok, I put it farther to the middle of the roof and it helped a lot. I also had to relocate the internal antenna lower than recommended in the instructions to prevent the "gain" from the amplified signal lowering the output signal by correcting for the signal from the booster itself. Effectively the internal antenna sits on the HUMP between my front seats under my console, which is really only 3 feet from my phone mount. (save a life-use hands free people) Which actually puts the internal antenna about 8 feet from the external antenna. Only complaint I have is (In Jest) Weboost sent me an email asking if I needed help to install it! Thanks for you concerns Weboost support but it was so easy to install I had to reread the instructions in hopes I missed something. The hardest part is locating the wires out of the way, under carpet, through wire channels in the trim molding, etc. and when it warms up I will run the wires under the carpet to my place of choice for everything, as it is I just tucked it under the edge of my trim and there was plenty of wire to put everything where I wanted.

A Must for the hardcore outdoorsmen!
I'm an avid outdoorsman and hunter. I spend weeks on end off grid. Some hunts take me to mountain tops where cell service is absolutely not an option. The Drive 4G-X unit is incredible. It amplifies what signal is available to a point where phone calls, text, even emails are an option. Great product and a must for us hunters to keep in touch with the wife, or in the case of an emergency. Highly recommend!

Awesome product!
I love this device because I work in an area of Alaska that's remote so the service isn't great but when I decided to try this my service has greatly improved! I work on the oil field away from my family so I depend my cellphone to be able to contact them and I have no worries with my weboost.

Asked by Josh 5 months ago
Question: Can this be powered by a USB outlet instead of a 12V port? I don't have a 12V port available. If so, what's the ideal output (amps)?
Answer: Thank you for your question! Unfortunately, this unit cannot be powered by USB since the voltage and amperage are not enough for the unit to be powered sufficiently for the booster to work. Must units need 6V of power like this one requires, USB slots typically only are able to pull 5V/.5-.9A which the unit needs 6V/2A, not nearly enough to power the unit correctly. We recommend using the power supplies offered in the kits because they have been tested and approved by our engineering department. Going outside these recommendations could result in damage to the product. If there's any other questions that need to be addressed, please give us a call at 866-294-1660 or contact our online support at: [email protected] Thank you!

Asked by Dennis the Realtor 5 months ago
Question: Instructions says that the cell phone needs to be 36" from the inside antenna. Can this be more than 36"?
Answer: Thank you for your question! It could, but not recommended since the cellular signal will become weaker the farther the phone is away from the antenna. In all reality, if you're going to be in weak areas, the phone sometimes has to be inches away from the inside antenna in order for the phone to pick up the signal since it's so weak. I would typically place the antenna where the phone can sit and still be used effectively. If there's any other questions that need to be addressed, please give us a call at 866-294-1660 or contact our online support at: [email protected] Thank you!

Question: I drive an emergency vehicle. I am purchasing the 4G-X which seems to be the recommended kit. I need a permanent mount antenna. I use Verizon services. What antenna do you suggest. I cannot have cable exposed on the roof of the vehicle.
Answer: Thank you for your question! That's going to be a tricky situation since all of our boosters have a cord that attaches to the outside antenna. We do have an NMO mount antenna, but that requires a hole to be drilled into the vehicle, it's also a 3G antenna only so a 4G booster will not work with the NMO antenna. There may be a way to have the antenna be mounted in a way where the cord isn't exposed as much, like near a door under weatherstripping and not next to a window. Check out this video to hide mobile booster cable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5McQ8MyaIIk&t=4s This may help in getting a better idea of how it should be installed. You may get away with the antenna being on the edge to have less cable exposed. That's really all the info that I can give you right now, I hope this helped in some way!

Question: I am trying to boost a signal from Telcel in Mexico for use in an Airstream trailer. These are Telcel's specs as of 12/2017: https://www.frequencycheck.com/carriers/telcel-mexico Will any Weboost product work for this application? If so, do you have any advice for this particular installation? Thanks!
Answer: Thank you for your question! Typically, the Drive 4G-X RV is going to be the best bet for you in your situations where there's going to be weaker areas where making a call would be tough. Keep in mind for the booster to work there has to be signal available for the outside antenna to pick up and amplify. According to the frequencies and bands used, it looks like the booster should be able to amplify those signals. I would contact our customer support if you would like to find out more information about our boosters, or check out our website at Weboost.com.

Asked by Chuck 6 months ago
Question: Greetings. I have a 27' Airstream trailer. Given the two layers of metal I have to deal with, which system would you recommend? Also, we pull our Airstream with a RAM truck. Will the system boost our cell reception in the truck if I mount the internal antenna near the front of the camper? Should I use a different external antennae? I want the most out of the system. Thanks for your time.
Answer: Thank you for your questions! I would go with the Drive 4G-X RV since the booster is designed for situations like this plus having the full capability of the 4G-X in weaker areas. The inside antenna will not work through the camper, so it either has to be inside the truck or the camper for the booster to work while moving. The RV antenna needs to be mounted to a pole that 1.5 inches to 2 inches in diameter for the pole to fit. This antenna is best since it uses RG6 coax instead of the RG58 which creates more signal loss in the cable making your signal weaker. I would stick with the kit components. You should purchase a small mini magnet antenna that could be used on the truck when using it in your vehicle, then switch to the permanently mounted antenna when you're in a campsite to get the most out of the booster with easy setup. That's how I would do it. If there's any other questions that need to be addressed, please give us a call at 866-294-1660 or contact our online support at: [email protected] Thank you!

Question: Can I use lmr400 coax and sma male ends to get a longer coax feed. I need to mount to back of cab on a 579 Pete
Answer: Thank you for your question! It depends on how long the run will be and how your outside signal we be as well since both directly affect how your booster will perform, especially the outside signal. It should be possible, but not recommended since the signal loss could be great.

Question: I have a Drive 4G-X & want to install it inside our 5th wheel camper. What impedance is needed for a inside antenna? I see two different impedance for inside antennas listed on your web site. Also can I purchase a second mounting bracket for the 4G-X?
Answer: Thank you for reaching out to us! All of our mobile amplifiers have a 50 ohm impedance for the inside antenna, as well as the outside antenna. There are two types because we do have home amplifiers that are 50 ohm and 75 ohm type impedance because of the different connectors on the amplifier, as well as the type of cabling used for these specific amplifiers. We've made them in such a way that if you have the correct impedance that it will still work. Unfortunately, there to purchase another mounting bracket for the Drive 4G-X on our website, but you're more than welcome to reach out to us and see what we can help you with.
