In my area, there are a lot of people who have phones with external
antenna connectors. A lot of them have a 8-13db yagi outside, mounted
high, with a cable run and pigtail to connect to their phone. Verzion and Centennial, while not exactly happy about it, do provide the needed info to get it working. Else the user will quit...

I'm not saying you can't do it with some other solution (unlicensed) but you best be prepared for the consequences if the cell provider gets wind of...They have spent millions of dollars in their infrastructure and don't think for one minute they would not haul your company to court over something like that.As a matter a fact; when I was doing my first authorized deployment with Spotwave; we had a conference call with US Cellular and even though Spotwave was an authorized system on the US Cellular network; the engineers would not give us coordinates or even identify the location of the tower we were trying to repeat... They claimed it was "proprietary" and a trade secret... and gave us NO assistance with anything. They also told us if they had one complaint about this equipment causing a problem; they would come shut it down. We had to give them contacts for the building where the equipment was.

Thanks Blake.. That is what I was dancing round in my post... there are homegrown yagi from ~$400 but that will not fly on the legal front... Please be aware there are legal implications for unauthorized repeating or broadcasting of a cell providers frequency. And to address Ryans question; NO, you can not. 1. You are not authorized to proxy on behalf of 2. You don't own the freq. 3. You don't have the subscriber Shall I go on...
