cell phone signal boosters

[acesn8s]

I have poor cell reception in my home and was wondering if a booster was worth having. I have great service just 2 blocks away but it drops off when I approach the house. I do not have internet at home so using wi-fi is not a current option. If the cost of a booster/repeater is too much then I may get internet just so that I can use my phone.(sigh) I rarely make calls but use the apps on my phone frequently.

1. How much can I expect to spend for a suitable booster?
2. Is a signal booster worth the price?
3. Will the booster help with 3G?

I'd say that would work IF you have signal outside the house. If you live in a dead zone that won't help.

I have a weak signal in the house but at times it takes a long time to transfer data.

double check to make sure you don't have a lead x-ray jacket around your phone.

I removed the lead jacket when I had a tall glass of antifreeze.
