The Verizon Wireless Network Extender is no impulse purchase—at $249, it costs more than most phones on Verizon’s network. Yet it works—and without any service fees. For any Verizon Wireless customer trying to get a signal in remote areas, the Extender is a great buy.

If you live in an area with poor Verizon Wireless coverage and have a home broadband network, the Verizon Wireless Network Extender will work to improve your signal strength.

After using the Verizon 3G Network Extender for over a week with our two phones, we are pleased with the results, as call quality is somewhat improved with voices sounding better on both ends. It also provides EVDO Rev A for data, which is a noticeable improvement.
