I have a Verison PC 5740 with Verison and a Samsung A940 phone with Sprint. If I get an external antenna should I also get an amplifier? Also, will this help my phone reception? Where we travel now in a motorhome(fulltimers) we get reception with both but a lot of times it is weak.

Thanks in advance.

The 5740 has no external antenna port . and neither does the A940 as far as I know. The Verizon card perates on 800 and 1900 mhz. The Sprint phone operates on 1900 mhz. The only device that will help with reception on both devices would be a Dual Band Wireless amplifier/repeater. There are units on the market currently .Wilson and Digital Antenna have units on the market now.As with any amplifier product make sure you buy from a reputable dealer and they are willing to give you a money back guarantee if the product does not meet your need or expectations We hope to have ours out soon.

No To intercepting messages WIFI and EVDO are on different frequencies. There are other EVDO cards that do have extermnal antenna ports , The Kyocera KPC 650 , Novatel V 620 , Sierra Wireless 580 , Audiovox 5220. The best card is the Kyocera

An amplifier will help you greatly with an external antenna especially considering you will be in places in rural areas with poor coverage . Our amplifier is a fine product and many members here are using them . Booster-Antenna is also selling Wilson amplifiers which is also a good product
