I use a Spotcell Z1900.

Really made a huge difference in battery life for my phones since they are using very little power to communicate with the repeater rather than the tower which is much farther away.

Unfortunately for me, my problem is dropped calls, there must be something interfering with my cell phones because it only happens in my condo. And the dropped calls are frustratingly random. Happens within 30 seconds or 15 minutes sometimes. But it happens more often than not.

But the key to cell phone repeaters is that you DO have good reception somewhere you can place the antenna, either inside where you get good reception, or outside if need be. If you don't get good reception anywhere, don't even bother with a repeater.
