[QUOTE="WeekendWarrior, post: 2147444, member: 117901"] Here is an example of one you could hike with. [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/sat-messaging.264158/#post-2147381[/URL] You can find these for and brand of phone. They are often just an accessory antennae combined with an amplifier. They work just like wifi extenders you might put in your basement or shop to extend the reach of your home internet. They pick up on weak signal and amplify it. In my case, if Im in an area where I can get 1 bar of service, using the signal booster I'll often get three bars. Or if Im in an area where Im in and out of service, I'll usualy be able to maintain one to two bars of service. Doesn't help for true wilderness though.

The one I bought for my truck is strong enough to amplify 4g signal to the point my wife and I can both work remotely while camping in wilderness areas.
