Learn more about cell phone signal boosters and the science behind them on weBoost's website at: bit.ly/1Nabf1D
In this video you'll see how to;
- Access a secret “Field Testing” screen on your iPhone.
- Learn how to see the ACTUAL strength of your signal. (“Bars” aren't usually accurate.)
- Find the cell tower you're connected to right now, and make a “real life” connection with it.
- Force your phone to latch onto stronger signals nearby.
- Prevent texts, and voicemails, from coming through delayed.
- Double your signal, simply by rolling down a window.
- Find which carrier best covers the area where you live, and whether you should switch.
- Use a “Femtocell” or “Cell-spot Router” to re-direct calls through the internet.
- Use “Wi-Fi Calling” mode to send messages from the sky, and save on international roaming charges.
- Use a “weBoost” signal booster to eliminate dead-zones and dropped calls in your home, office, or car.

Project History & More Info:
FTC Disclaimer: This video was sponsored by my friends at weBoost. (#ad)
Project Inspired By:
weBoost.com. The weBoost staff reached out and invited me to collaborate on a video idea for their new line of weBoost products.
About a month ago, they reached out to see whether I had ever heard about cell phone signal boosting.
It was actually a new concept to me, even though they'd been selling products like this for over a decade, under the name “Wilson Electronics”.
Our house has always had trouble with reception, so I had one of their systems installed so I could test it for myself, and measure the results before making claims on what it could do.
I did a fair amount of research on how cell phone technology works in general, and different ways signals could be enhanced. And since most people don't have any idea how phones work or where the signals come from, I thought it would be appropriate to make a video with tips and tricks that people could try out themselves, to learn and explore the invisible radio world around them.
Originally my thinking was to create a number of different projects that could be done with the weBoost system itself, or projects that related to the concepts of signal boosting.
Among these ideas were;
- Making a mini radio you could use to broadcast your voice on your kitchen radio.
- Building a mini audio amplifier powerful enough to drive a large 8ohm speaker.
- Ripping the weBoost amplifier apart, and seeing how it could re-purposed for something else.
In the end I felt that a “Life Hack” video showing 10 tips and tricks, would be the best.
I created the video to show 10 ways you could find, or create, better signals, but I also tried to design it so you'd be learning more about how the cellular system works, at the same time.
There is a lot of education mixed in with the projects. So in a way it's kind of like a mini training course that'll get you involved with understanding the networks you've always used, but never really been aware of.
I hope you learned something new you can start using. And if not, please watch the video again. There's a really good chance you'll see something you missed the first time around :)

Cool video, but I don't like the car part. Its like you're condoning using your phone while driving. Please don't.
Ah no... But the way he was presenting in the video makes it out to be as if you are driving.
I bet that really triggered you, huh? Must be a modern white girl who is triggered by evrrything

Tyler Perlejewski lol wut?
Blazing Shade Yes really. Why y'all getting so worked up for?

+UNKNOWN GAMER Actually it does, calling the emergency number of any country always have a priority connection so it's the fastest and most reliable call than you can do.
+UNKNOWN GAMER Even works with a phone that has no service provider.
Awesome video man!
I'd use these tips if I had a cellphone....

hey ,if anyone else is searching for best phone number lookup app try Niposcu Fast Phone Adviser (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my friend got great results with it.
People cry about only having 2-3 bars but most parts of my town have none... so yah.

Not to flex.. But i have 5..
Ik right
Speaking as a video training professional, it was refreshing to see a well produced AND usefully informative video. GREAT JOB!
At 0:57, you say the scale is exponential. I think you meant logarithmic.
+A. “Gospel” Smith Nope. Just look it up but I had no idea in the first place. TIL...
EDIT: Why didn't I think of the Wikipedia page! Oops
+Mrord1
Everywhere I've looked says decibels are logarithmic.
+A. “Gospel” Smith You are correct: the dBm scale is logarithmic, and not exponential (though a log scale can be used to graph exponential growth, go figure).
+A. “Gospel” Smith guess i haven't forgot that much from school yet. I thought this too

So?
What I was doing was reading a quote.
Like if you think like farms are dumb. Kappa
Did you seriosly put fake buffering in the part where you were talking about slow connections?
no, you just have slow connections.

Thanks Grant, some of the items covered on this vid i had no idea about, they have boosted my signal a little which is great.
Did anyone notcie the fake reaload screen? 4:26
That's the point... It's a fake reload screen. He was trying to make a point and be funny. Are you stupid?
Recently researches says that i am Einstein

How to get good signal.
Nr1: dont be on a mountain
How to get bad signal.
Nr1: stay at the mountain.
You are successful!
Now u kan only booty call from ur home lol
+Mattis Yo thx man helped me out so much XD
+Mattis Yo Actually I noticed the reverse: the valley shielded the signal of the radio tower which was on the neighbouring mountain.
put some towers above that mountain
edi Valleys are the worst places to be for Internet because the signal bounces off of the surrounding mountains/hills.
Great video Grant, you sir are not only an asset to UA-cam... but to humanity as well... :-) Teaching things that get kids outside having fun again, instead of inside with a game controller in their hand. I commend you for that! You should write a book...
First class helpful video. Thank you.
We're in a service area with unreliable coverage. This help us diagnose our problems, and you've provided a solution.
Nice!!
haha the buffering was a nice touch grant.
at 4:23
DAMMIT GRANT U GOT ME ON THE LOADING THINGY
Thank you so much for all the answers that REALLY WORK!! 4 yrs later and still useful!
Hi
Good video, I actually learned some things and I found it very helpful.
Thank you
4:24 who else though that it was really buffering I did. Like if you did
ME
Michael Boulter me
not me because im on mobile

I like how you put in loading screens during the slowing Internet speeds
I just moved to Alabama out on the NW region and this video and app helps a great deal. Keep up the great work.
Sadly he just passed away yesterday, check his latest video
Your videos are so informative and awesome! Thank you!
4:27 I LEGIT JUST GOT TROLLED ~._~.
Hokora Yinphine MPP 4:36?!
R.I.P
I definetly like any type of your videos! Your the best tech!
This was so cool! Thank you so much!
Hey Grant! I love yor vids, but i was wondering if you could do a version of this video but for wifi (faster speed, downloading, etc.) because my wifi isnt very fast, but the company charges alot to upgrade!
Yes, WE NEED FASTER INTERNET. These UA-cam videos can start buffering a lot...
Do you know what mb speed your paying for? Figure that out and then go to a site like speedtest.net to figure out the speed your getting. If your getting the speed your paying for or close to it over wifi there's nothing you can do unless you want to pay for higher tier Internet or at least easily. The only other thing would be to get a device that combines the speed of your internet and speed of your phone into one speed. I forgot what they're called but still I doubt that's what you want to do then your using phone data and phone speeds aren't that good. It'd work better if you had two land internet lines you wanted to combine the speed of
+Jack Le k
+Joy Ann awesome Mullinax hey
My wifi keeps on going slow after 2 weeks of fast internet. The company charges me if I want them to fix it. D:
Anyone notice he edited in the loading thing at 4:10?
devon oconnell true i saw it boi
How can anyone NOT like this guy's videos?
love you videos do an absolutely fantastic job keep it up I love watching these videos thank you very much for being so intuitive and really researching these subjects
Not sure if installing stuff like that in your room is healthy...
***** Not sure how is it worse.
+Just A in terms of radiation
+Just A radio waves are non-ionizing waves. they do not give you cancer
+Just A I think you need to learn about electromagnetic radiation and realise that all radiation is not deadly. You face a higher risk of illness from radiation from a bunch of bananas than from a cell phone.
As to the plane being more dangerous. Our atmosphere shields us from a lot of the Sun's (and other extraterrestrial radiation sources) harmful radiation. When you fly at 40,000 feet there is less atmosphere above you to protect you from the radiation and you receive a larger dose.
Every day you sit in a pool of radiation from the sun, radio and TV broadcast, your WiFi, cordless phones, cell phones and more. It's only sources of electromagnetic radiation with very short wavelengths (
Maxx B Well, that surely explains a lot. Thanks!
Good video!
What a great video this is! Very helpful.
TOTALLY buying that!!! I didn't know those existed!
If you want the dbm meter to actually stay. go into field testing mode, then hold
the power button until the off slide bar pops up. when it pops up let go
of the power button and then press and hold the home button for about
10 seconds. The field test should force quit and then the dbm meter will
be stuck on the top left.
Isaiah Jackson thanks bro
Toxic Sheep sure thing :D

People still use their phones to call?

Thanks for the information, I used the signal strength trick when I was in a super store today.
great instructive video Grant!
I though that buffering sihns where real for a second
*thought *those *signs *were *.
You can edit your comment you know.
1 percent talking about animae
99.99 percent talking about falling for the buffering part
Great tips, Lance.
that was effing brilliant. succinct. informative. awesome!
The secret "Field Test" will not work on iPhones on IOS 9 because of the new feature which blocks the real strength of your signal. Instead of showing your real strength, it will show "Back to Phone" on the left top corner.
"If you're an Android user, it's even easier!"
Almost always true with actual operating system manipulation.
I like this top 10. Informative and factual.
some good material in there as usual, thanks, my mum will be helped by the weboost stuff.
Rip mad you'll never be forgetting
Android here. I got 116 dBm and I usually get 1-2 bars
Loving the animations!
thanks for advise
omfg when you were talking about slowing your internet the video starting buffering again
+VinentPlayz Oh wait..I see what you did there
😂😂😂😂
He almost got me and i was wait a second it never buffers that instantly
I always have the time bar up and so I saw it was moving
Jacob Willett Did you not see my second comment?
OMG THE STUPID NEW UPDATE WONT LET ME SEE THE FIELD TESTING MODE!
Same
+Ferguson Landy same
Press the home button, and u see it for a split second on the top left
If you want it to actually stay. go into field testing mode, then hold the power button until the off slide bar pops up. when it pops up let go of the power button and then press and hold the home button for about 10 seconds. The field test should force quit and then the dbm meter will be stuck on the top left.
Also you could drag the notification tab down and it will show up
thanks so much for making this video man 👍
this is THE video i was looking for...thanks for the tips they really helped me.
P.S. : I also have a S2 and I dont wanna change it.....
4:23-4:26 you tricked me!
could also be called 10 tips to receive more radiation lmao
Dude I love your videos they are legit awesome
This video is super informative
sprint users are rejoicing
Absolutely! Sprint is not the best in my area...
Kevin Maguire *spoiler alert* sprint is not the best in any area lol but I use too much data to use any other company like 28ish gigs a month
Urban Kitsune T-mobile actually has a really great deal on unlimited plan if you have 2-4 lines
Kevin Maguire t-mobile actually has less coverage in my area than sprint lol
Kevin Maguire time for a we boost lol
Why did the 10 die?
beacause it was in the midle of 9/11
LOL at 4:23, 4:27. That was some brilliant editing, sir! hahahaha I am still laughing because I actually replayed it to make sure it wasn't just an amazing coincidence.
Awesome, thanks!!!
Rip :====(
😭😭😭
I have 61 is that really good or really bad
Rlly, rlly, rlly good
awesomely is the answer
lower is better
that is very good, around 10,000x better than -100 dBm
What about 2? Is that good?
I like the owl at 4:12 ! :)
Your awesome and your an inspiration to me and so many others 😃😃👊
No Windows phone love? :p
+EVOL SCAVENGER No one uses a windows phone.
+RottenJeeves its not majority but yea people do use it.

That last tip is a great way of getting cancer
Place the inside portion in your bedroom, as close to your pillow as possible.
+Euzifyy How?
Your loading bars during the video really made my day.
Yes my friend you always got great videos
but it's illegal to use a phone while driving
***** It is illegal to USE a phone at all while driving
+Liam Sundqvist Norlén It is legal while you use a handsfree unit
+Liam Sundqvist Norlén you are wrong. It is illegal to text and drive but at least in the USA (where grant is from) it is OK to use cell phones for other things like GPS or for phone calls (in some states this is illegal also)
+Mr Milky You are true. I badly described it
Liam Kristoffer Andréas yah only 4 states DONT have the texting while driving the other 46 do

Hey Grant! Have to thank you for your awesome uploads. My kids have been asking me regularly if you have any new uploads since I told them I learned how to make Lego gummies and the blow gun(plus several others)on your channel. This video was concise and informative as usual. Keep up the great work and thanks again!
Thanks for helping us Windows phone users. Thanks.
stronger the strength higher chance of getting cancer.
+Lennex Koh 100% false.
+Sean Actually, it’s true. Although, the chance is still very low.
I have great service everywhere because I have Verizon

I found this very useful
hey thanks this helps alot
Cell Signal Booster = Cancer
Izzy-Sorna i agree
what a great idea...lets all install a mobile antenna in our living rooms. hell, lets install them next to our beds just to be sure
is this video sponsored by a drug company that produces cancer medicine?
+dimos k Go any evidence that phone signals give you cancer ?
+Paul L not that I know of. but I wouldn't like yet another wireless device in my house. I am not any conspiracy theory sucker or anything I just prefer to avoid something that might be harmful in the long run.
besides, there is no evidence that smoking causes cancer, but who denies it?
+dimos k actually yes, smoking does gives you cancer, just ask Marlboro man. or any man coughing like train after decades of smoking.
+space0pirate yes I know it does. but how can someone prove it? there are so many different factors that can cause cancer that it's impossible for a scientist to prove that smoking was the actual reason for someone getting cancer.
+dimos k the tides rise and fall every day. You can't explain that.
Just tried it & its brilliant
Your video quality is awesome
thanks for this video
Thanks for this. It made getting signal at my house way easier
Wow over 1,000,000 views in almost 2 days! Nice job, Grant!
Your videos are the best +Grant Thompson
