COVID-19 has changed everything.
There isn’t a single person on the planet who’s life hasn’t been affected by it. Whether it’s your health, your business, your finances, your schooling, your children, your daily routine. It is, without a doubt, the most influential, globally-conscious event since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
What does this have to do with cell phone signal boosters? It has a lot to do them. And the relevance of signal boosters at this particular moment in history has everything to do with all of us who are now forced to work from home.
But before we get into that, it’s important to us at SureCall that we reiterate the importance of your safety and well being. Our No. 1 goal is to protect our employees, their families, our customers, and our local communities and we are taking all precautions to do so. Social distancing, personal hygiene, and respect for people everywhere during this unusual time. Be wise in your decisions and courteous to those around you. In the near future when we look back on this shared experience, let’s not have regrets.
So let’s talk about how to boost cell signal at home during quarantine as well as why this is an ideal time to be thinking about signal boosters.
Life and Business Must Keep Moving Forward Despite Current Events, Like Self Isolation and Social Distancing
We can tell you exactly where our headspace is right now at SureCall during this chaotic time. Our role is to do everything we can to keep life and business and first responders going. Stay at home orders or not, livelihoods must be maintained. Responsibilities have to be met. Jobs need to be saved and acquired. Lives need to be protected. Social and professional connections need to remain intact. And the fact of the matter is this: strong mobile signals as well as reliable Internet connections have as much (if not more) positive influence on these things coming to pass as anything else.
The products we’ve perfected at SureCall make these very things more reliable, more consistent, and more convenient. No matter where you live and work. This is what we’re doing to keep the work going. We’re going to show you how to boost cell signal at home during work from home orders so your work life and personal life can keep moving forward.
What SureCall Products Support Working From Home?
Lots of them. There are more than 10, in fact. There are 6 main boosters, but variations exist for a few products, that allow you to tailor it to your home size, and budget. We’ll discuss each of these cell phone signal boosters that will make working from home more productive and efficient in this article. Okay, our devices can’t prevent your kids from interrupting you. But what they can do better than anything on the market is boost your cell signal so you don't drop calls.
What does this mean for your new home-office environment? It means faster data transfer through every application and use of your mobile devices. Super-fast call connection and text delivery. No more dropped calls. Lower latency (lag time) than you’ve ever had in your home, which means no more impatiently waiting for things to load. Faster speeds when you’re using your phone as a WiFi hot spot. All good things.
How Do I Know Which One Is Right For My Home?
We’ll help you choose one. There are 6 things you need to think about when figuring out how to boost cell signal at home. They are:
- Home size
- Strength of the signal outside the home
- Density and number of walls in the home
- Price
- Number of carriers (cell phone companies) being used in the home
- Satisfaction ratings of the manufacturer
When you see the descriptions of our 6 home signal boosters below, you’ll see most of these 6 factors are individually addressed.
Here are some things to remember that apply to all 6 devices:
- Every SureCall signal booster works with every U.S. cellular carrier
- As long as you there is at least a small, (even if barely) usable cell signal outside you home, you’re guaranteed to see a signal increase no matter what. No matter the size of your home or the density of your walls.
- SureCall guarantees the BEST customer service in the industry.
- SureCall guarantees the BEST price-performance value on the market, no matter the device
- Every SureCall device comes with an industry leading 3-year warranty, a 60-day money-back guarantee, and lifetime technical support (US-based).
- All SureCall devices are FCC approved (Trust us, this matters)

If you have no cell signal whatsoever outside your home, our boosters will most likely not work for you. In some instances we can create a hotspot, but signals can’t be created out of thin air. There has to be some existing cell signal (no matter how small) so the booster can then boost it.
