Most people know that cell phone service in a home can prove tricky. If you have a bad connection, then you would typically need to rely on home telephone service to complete your calls. However, Verizon has just started retailing the Verizon Wireless Network Extender, a device that can help boost your signal while at home and allow you to turn off your home line.

When connected to a broadband router, the device acts as a mini cell phone tower and can boost signals for phones within a 5000 foot radius. These devices are known as femtocells and a similar product was released by Sprint last year. Sprint’s Airave costs $100 to purchase and users must pay a small monthly subscription rate. Currently, Verizon is not charging a subscription rate to use their version. AT&T is in the testing phase for their femtocells while T-Mobile uses Wi-Fi to improve subscribers’ home service.
