Wireless Extender claims to boost indoor cell coverage

Now that even Verizon CEO Ivan "Can You Hear Me Now?" Seidenberg has said it's unrealistic to expect reliable cellular coverage in your home, it might be a good time to consider picking up a cellphone signal booster to improve your indoor coverage. While we've received relatively good feedback about the SpotCell gear we looked at a few weeks ago, we haven't heard much about the YX500-PCS cellphone signal booster from the aptly named Wireless Extenders Inc. The device uses an external antenna to pull signals from a cell tower and relay them to an indoor base station. The company claims that the $250 package can improve coverage over areas as large as 2,500 square feet.
