Maximize the potential of your Pantech phone with a cell phone signal booster by weBoost/ Wilson Electronics.
You may have noted that when looking at a coverage map for many cellular services that the entire continental United states is shaded with brief patches of white here and there. And where this idealistic view of the coverage area is appealing aesthetically, it is not realistic in application. In several instances, cellular phones receive dropped calls, weakened signals, and horrific download speeds due to weak signal strength. Pantech cell phones have been noted as being a bit problematic in their reception when outside of the "ideal" coverage area. This does not mean that the phone is malfunctioning, but rather that additional measures need to be taken to ensure that you are getting the best use out of your Pantech Breakout, Pantech Hotshot, Jesta, Marauder, Pantech Perception, or other model. A cell phone signal booster may be the solution you need. The following booster kits will also boost coverage for cell phones by other manufacturers and cell service providers. That means that your friends, co-workers or family members who have cell phone made by another manufacturer and cellular service with any other wireless carrier in USA or Canada, can also benefit from the boosted signal when they visit your home or travel with you in your vehicle.

BOOSTER MODEL | DESCRIPTION | MSRP | DB GAIN? What is dB Gain? Signal strength is measured in decibels (dB). Theoretically, -50 dB represents peak signal strength (5 signal bars), whereas -110 dB implies practically zero signal on your Pantech. Therefore, this means that signal strength reduces, as this number goes further away from zero (a higher negative number is further away from zero than a lower negative number). The number shown in this column indicates amount of potential improvement of your Pantech signal strength. As you can see, all of them provide a drastic improvement in Pantech reception signal strength. | COVERAGE |

Before checking your signal strength, you should update and trouble shoot your phone based on the suggestions of Pantech and your wireless phone provider. Once you have determined that your phone is not malfunctioning, follow these steps to determine the source of your weak signal.
• Check the proximity from your access point to the nearest tower. The further you are from your network's tower, the weaker your signal will be. Even if there're several towers in your local area, if these do not allow for you to access your network, they are of no use. The tower’s strength works on a radius. Those closest to the center of the circle will have the best results. If you find that your signal increases as you get closer to your network's tower, a Pantech cellphone signal booster would be beneficial.
• Check to see if interior structure of your building is weakening your signal strength. This can be accomplished by going to the exterior of the building and searching for a strong signal. If a signal can be obtained then the building is causing a problem in most circumstances. This may be the result of existing electronics, concrete construction, steel, and possibly even the insulation in the building. If you can get a signal on the exterior of the building attempt to locate the relative position on the interior of the building. This location will be the best place to use your cell phone signal booster.
• Look for man-made and natural barriers which may reduce the signal strength. In urban settings, other buildings, retainer walls, tunnels, and such may hinder the signal strength. Radio stations and cable companies may also have electronics in place which can cause cross signals and a weak or dropped call. Rural areas sometimes have too many trees, boulders, cliffs, and mountains to get a proper signal. Try to find an area that is open from these hindrances and test your signal strength. If you can obtain a signal then a Pantech signal booster may help.
• Test your signal strength outside of your vehicle. Should you need to have a strong cell phone signal when you are commuting but unable to do so, the structure of the car as well as the LTE settings (if you have such) may be the culprit. Test to see if you can obtain a strong signal outside of the vehicle. If you are implementing hand's free calling, ensure that your Breakout, Hotshot, Jesta, Marauder, or Perception phone is compatible with that service. If you have a signal and it is weak, then a mobile cell phone signal booster can increase the reception in most instances.
Pantech boosters are built like most cell phone boosters. In that, they contain the four common elements found in such devices. Where there may be a slight variation to the way in which these four components are manufactured and designed, they all have the following:
• Antenna – The means in which the stronger signal is related back to your Pantech device.
• Coax cable – The connector between the booster and the antenna. It is critical that your coax cable be constructed of quality fibers and have a secure connection to the device for the best results.
• Amplifier – This is the hardware that performs the scan of the area to acquire the weak and strong signals which need to be reconditioned. Amplifier "builds" this signal and sends it to the antenna to be related back to your phone.
• Power source – Generally, this is a standard plug that can be applied to any standard outlet. It is advised that you dedicate the outlet solely to the cell phone signal booster and that you use a surge protector for the best results.
• Dropped calls are eliminated.
• Voice services (such as Skype) and regular voice communication is maximized as static is reduced.
• Download speeds on signal based internet are faster.
• You spend less time connecting and losing your data and more time utilizing your data for practical purposes.
• The battery is optimized to allow for longer usage times.
• The bars of your phone are increased to sometimes double that of what was formally accessible.
It should be noted that a cell phone signal booster does not create signals. It just uses the existing signals in a more efficient manner. Much like the proverb that more cords make for a stronger rope, the weaker signals that are combined to the stronger signal the stronger that signal will be.
Where there are some instances in life where a cheaper version of a product is acceptable (such as in prescriptions), in electronics this is not the case. Cheap cell phone boosters pose a substantial threat to the integrity of your phone. This means that the motherboard, circuits, data, .net, framework, and even your personal security is at risk. As cheap models quite often fall short of the FCC and the network guidelines and stipulations, it is also quite possible to cause damage to the network and towers including disrupting services for others and disabling emergency response services such as 911.
In addition to the physical threat to your phone and to the towers, it should be noted that all cell phone boosters must be registered with the FCC through your mobile phone network service provider. Being such, many cheaper models cannot be registered as they do not meet the requirements set forth by both. This means that even though your inexpensive booster may work with your phone, it cannot legally be used on the network rendering it useless.
Using a weBoost cell phone signal booster for Pantech phones ensures that you have a booster that is not only compatible with your phone, but with all of the Pantech devices. Offices, businesses, and homes which have multiple users with Pantech cell phones can benefit from not having to purchase multiple devices to fix a weak signal problem.
Although there are a great deal of benefits to using a cell phone signal booster such as the elimination of dropped calls and the increase in functionality speeds, there are a few things that a Pantech cell phone signal booster cannot do. This includes:
• Accessing a network or tower without permission – You will still need to have permissions to access a tower and a network. This is usually accomplished with the purchase of a monthly or pre-paid plan. Any provider that states that it can Hack the network needs to be avoided.
• Increase your data plan – Where your data may be optimized for better use, the cell phone signal booster cannot add minutes or data to your existing plan. You will therefore need to keep track of such information to keep from incurring additional costs.
• Split your subscriptions to other phones – Each Pantech phone accessing the cell phone signal booster will need to have its own subscription. As the cell phone booster only boosts the signal and cannot split your subscription to other phones, subscriptions are mandatory for proper use.
• Generate Home WI-FI – There are some models which may include a built in wi-fi boosting capability. However, this is not the primary function of a cell phone signal booster. If you require router and network boosting, it is encouraged that you seek a WI-FI booster. There are many available depending on your specific needs.
• Create a signal where no signal is present – In most cases a signal can be obtained as most places have weak signals which can be combined to form a stronger signal. However, there are instances, especially in extremely rural areas where a signal cannot be obtained. As such the signal booster would not help (as it cannot make something out of nothing).
