Right now on Amazon you can order a refurbished Wilson sleek for $119

https://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Electronics-Sleek-Kit-Refurbished/dp/B016AT88GM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492357046&sr=8-1&keywords=refurbished+wilson+sleek+4g

The WeBoost wide band directional antenna for $50.13

https://www.amazon.com/weBoost-700-2700-Directional-Antenna-Connector/dp/B00J14YEHQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492357996&sr=8-1&keywords=wide+band+weboost

and the no adapter needed cable to connect them for $22.89

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SNRIFS6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's the set up I use to get cell signal in the boonies on all of my devices on all four carriers. I have never been without cell service on at least two carriers where ever I have been.

Will this work with my Verizon unlimited 3g hotspot?

Their website wilsonantenna.com has this same booster listed for $99 ... AND it's out of stock!

Oh well!

I just looked and the cable was $24. hmmmm

Make sure the booster for $99 is 4G not 3G.

Damn Amazon ... I clicked the link you posted and the price was $26. Not a big deal.

Same part number but it's out of stock so ...

I had hoped to keep that under our hats. He has a big enough head now. Tongue
