I have a static caravan and the surrounding signal strength on my phone is an acceptable 2-3 bars. However, inside the caravan it drops to 0-1 bars.
Is there a simple, legal way of improving the inside signal strength?
Thanks.




 I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

Passive boosters are legal as far as I am aware, an antenna on the outside pointing to the cell site and an antenna on the inside, no electronics.

 

 

 

Something like this.   https://www.cellutronics.co.nz/passive-repeaters

That looks exactly what I need, except for the price 🙄
I wonder if that could be a diy project, antenna, cable and coil, hmmm.

The best solution for this is a Cel-Fi, but if you're price conscious, then it might not be an option either. Approx. $1500 + install.
