How would you like to increase the chances of being able to make a cell phone call while ATV trail riding or ATV camping in the back country? Well that possibility exists through the use of a Cellular Signal Booster.

A cellular signal booster is like a miniature cellular broadcast tower and amplifies any existing cell signal in the area. Most cell phone boosters work with most of the major cell phone carriers. Always check the specifications of the device you intent to purchase, to ensure compatibility with your cell phone provider.

Having the capability to make a cell phone call in the back country can be invaluable in situations like a medical emergency, break down or getting lost. I have camped and ridden ATVs all over the State of Colorado and from most hilltops I was able to get a cell phone signal but most were too week to make a call.

Operation is simple, just connect the cables to the unit, position the magnetic base antenna on your ATV or UTV and plug the power supply into the 12V accessory port on your ATV/UTV.

Please note, a cellular signal booster cannot make something out of nothing, they can not boost the signal strength if there is no signal. So always check with your cell phone provider about their tower locations, specifically in areas you ride or camp.

A cellular signal booster can also significantly extend your cell phone battery life because the cell tower sees the phone as sending out more of a signal than is needed and instructs it to turn down. Therefore less power is required from your cell phone thus extending the battery charge.

Because the cellular signal booster kits for ATVs and UTV are mobile you can use them in your car or truck and even in your home. There are kits specifically for use in buildings and offices. Most of these kits also work with computer cellular cards so you can browse the internet at your back country campsite if you like.

If you enjoy riding ATVs and UTVs in the back country and would like the capability to make cell phone calls, a cellular signal booster just might work for you. Imagine having the capability to summon help in times of need no matter where you may be located.

If you work in the back country, for example a forest ranger, fire fighter, geologist, and/or border patrol, you can now have the capability to stay in communication with the office and others. A cellular signal booster could be an economical alternative to a satellite phone.
