Wi-Ex In-Car Signal Booster (Refurbished)

Wi-Ex In-Car Signal Booster (Refurbished) for $99.99

The zBoost YX230 car cell phone booster uses two antennas and a small amplifier to create a “cell zone” inside your car. The external antenna grabs a nearby cellular signal, and transmits it to the amplifier. The amplifier sends a beefed-up signal to the second antenna which repeats the signal inside your car for dramatically improved reception.

Extends cell phone range (up to 10 times the signal strength), improving the signal strength for both voice and data

Battery life is improved because the phone doesn’t work as hard to find a good signal

Reduces dropped calls and dead zones, and works with multiple phones simultaneously

The booster is compatible with all cellular phones and carriers, except Nextel

Neato. I want to say something about NTHSA New suggestion about banning all cell phone use while driving making this obsolete in a few years but I don't have a clever way of saying it. Sorry guys.

@cowboydann: Chances are where these are needed, there isn't the laws...

@jsoko: Yeah that's true I guess. I was thinking of getting one because there's a couple stretchs of highway (probably 40 miles in total) where I lose all reception driving from socal to norcal along the 5 freeway.

I wonder what this little guy has against Nextel :P

I am still thinking about this. Even though you are not allowed to use your phone while driving. I use a phone for work. The places I work in the field there are many many dead spots. This could be just the thing to help me out. Now if I could talk my company into buying it for me.

With all the talk about cell RFI cooking your brain, I wonder how much this helps :)

@tsfisch: I hear it's RFI frequency tuning is specific to the orbitofrontal cortex and amygdala.

Really helps take the edge off of that debilitating paranoia.

Is there any way i can get this to work in my apartment? Or a similar product? I want to extend my TMobile service a bit... :(

@cowboydann: It's common for the cell boosters to exclude Nextel (iden). It uses a different frequency range.

Also check out the FCC rules discussion in that other Wi-Ex comment thread; FUD IMHO, but worth knowing if you're into that.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
