Cell phone reception help
June 13, 2006 by Mike Wendland
Sometimes you need to know the location of the nearest tower or dead spots. My NBC-TV High Tech Talk segment this week looks at www.cellreception.com - an online guide to finding good mobile phone service.
And if that doesn’t help, we also check out a site called JDTeck, where you can buy a cell phone booster or repeater that improves cell phone reception in marginal areas.
I can not understand how a major metropolitan area like Detroit can have so many dead spots. I-75 near Big Beaver…. I-75 near I-94 are two that get me every day as I drive down to the Ren Cen.
Or what about right near downtown Dearborn? In the downtown area itself I get full bars (Sprint PCS) but if I head north or south on Outer Drive (and I often do) the signal drops to 1 or 2 bars and I lose calls. Crazy.
