Connection problems with Sprint and an S720

I have an S720 card and Sprint as my provider.

My connection at home, work, and around town is awesome.

The problem comes when we visit my in-laws who live in a small town in central Illinois.

If I am lucky, I can get 1 bar. I have to either be right next to the appropriately facing window or go outside. And even then, sometimes the signal is so poor it won't connect even if I have bars.

Would buying one of these help in this case?

Are there any tweaks I can do without purchasing additional hardware?

I'm heading up there again this weekend, so if you have advice that doesn't involve buying something, I can try it out.

Thank you.
