19th Feb 2021

Straight Talk is a national prepaid wireless operator under the partnership of TracFone Wireless & Walmart.

Because they operate on all major carrier networks (AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile), Straight Talk has been the no-contract, BYOD (bring-your-own-device) carrier many customers are moving to when they need service without the hefty fees.

Not everything is peaches and cream when it comes to poor signal.

When it comes to improving 5G, 4G, and LTE cellular signal, you're going to need a lot of help.

The Problem: Why Your Straight Talk Coverage Is Weak?

Cell phone signals are radio waves, the AM-FM kind. And like all wind and waves, they easily go in different directions without notice. Almost anything under the sun can change, absorb, and block your Straight Talk service. Here are top 5 examples:

  • Cell tower distance: Physical distance and power transmission distance
  • Outside interference: Trees, hills, mountains, valleys, and tall structures.
  • Building material: Metal (especially metal!), glass, concrete, brick, radiant barrier, and other conductive material (electrical or magnetic).
  • Internal building obstructions: Thick walls, plaster, drywall, and other electrical devices & clutter, etc.
  • Even weather (yup): Rain, thunderstorms, solar flares, etc.

Any combination of these problems can drastically reduce your service.

Doesn't matter if you're rural or urban area, poor cell phone signal affects us all. But there is a way to improve your signal for good.

The Solution: Boost Your Straight Talk 5G, 4G, & LTE Signal

Everything changes with a cellular booster.

A cell phone booster takes any existing 5G/4G signal and amplifies up to 32X and then rebroadcasts the boosted signal into the home, office, or car.

It's simple: more bars, better service.

  • Better Coverage: Think of a cell signal booster like a megaphone. It takes what you have and multiplies the performance.
  • Reliable Reception: No more dropped calls, spotty service, and low quality calls.
  • Consistent Service: Fast internet data, uploads, and downloads.

Straight Talk Signal Boosters: Your Guarantees

Our recommended Straight Talk signal boosters are very versatile:

  • 5G Ready
  • Works for all Straight Talk 5G (on select frequencies), 4G, and LTE signals.

  • Works for all phones & cellular devices.
  • Complete kits, easy to install.

For homes, whether you're in a remote rural area with an off-the-grid cabin or cottage or the big city with difficult-to-get-signal buildings, our recommended home cell phone boosters get the job done. They'll extend your Straight Talk network signal with low-cost options for 1-2 rooms up to 7,500 sq ft coverage depending on your model and outside signal.

Our vehicle signal boosters work for cars, sedans, RVs, and even boats.

Commercial Straight Talk signal boosters cover up to 100,000+ sq ft buildings, although it takes a dedicated team of installers and planners to get the absolute best service.

Why be a servant to the cell tower? Bring the cell tower inside your home! Below are our top recommendations.

Straight Talk Signal Boosters For Home

The Best Straight Talk Signal Booster for Home

weboost home multiroom
weBoost Home MultiRoom - 470144

For midsize homes and offices with a strong outside signal or small homes with weak outside signal.

Buy Now at $569.99
  • 5G ready booster
  • Up to 5,000 sq ft of Straight Talk coverage under best conditions
  • Up to +65 dB of gain, with 21 dBm uplink and 12 dBm downlink
  • Multiple accessories for maximum coverage and customization (sold separately)
  • Complete coverage for multiple rooms or midsize home for all carriers across multiple devices
  • Outdoor yagi antenna and indoor panel antenna configuration, with stylish fabric front

The weBoost Home MultiRoom is designed to cover several rooms, an entire floor, or a whole midsize, one-story home with Straight Talk signal. As its name suggests, you can expect multiple rooms of coverage with the unit assuming decent outside Straight Talk signal. Assuming flawless outside signal, you can expect up to 5,000 square feet of coverage, but in most situations you can expect 2,000-3,000 square feet of indoor Straight Talk coverage. If you live in a rural area with very weak outdoor signal, expect significantly reduced coverage. In fact, if you’re in an area with next to no signal, this is the lowest grade signal booster you should ever consider buying.

It features a nice, clean look, with an indoor antenna that won't stand out amid your existing home décor.

The weBoost Home MultiRoom not only boosts Straight Talk signal, but all major North American carriers. Should you ever change carrier, the weBoost Home MultiRoom will still work.

If you live in an extremely weak signal area, have a really big house you want to cover, or just want your booster professionally installed, consider its sister product, the weBoost Installed Home Complete.

Most Powerful Straight Talk Signal Booster for Home

weboost installed home complete
weBoost Installed Home Complete - 474445

Whole-home coverage for large homes with strong outside signal or midsize homes with weak outside signal.

Buy Now at $1,299.99
  • Superior cell phone service for your entire home. 5G Ready
  • Up to 7,500 sq ft of coverage under best conditions
  • Up to +72 dB of gain, with 24 dBm uplink and 12 dBm downlink
  • Multiple accessories for maximum coverage and customization (sold separately)
  • Complete coverage for entire home for all carriers across multiple devices
  • Outdoor yagi antenna and indoor panel antenna, with stylish fabric front
  • Needs no WiFi connection or monthly fees. One time purchase.

Designed, as you might expect, to cover an entire home. The weBoost Installed Home Complete certainly has that power, fully capable of covering a large home with decent outside signal or a midsize home with weak outdoor signal. Expect up to 7,500 square feet of coverage with flawless outside signal, but a more reasonable estimate would be somewhere between 3,500 and 5,500 square feet. In addition, in order to really maximize your coverage, additional antennas are required, especially if you’re trying to cover more than one floor. If you live in a very weak signal rural area, this is your best option for decent coverage - you’ll probably be getting about 2,000 square feet from it.

There are two major considerations on whether or not to buy the weBoost Installed Home Complete . This booster works best for large residential homes, suburban or rural areas, and more. The effective coverage area will vary depending on the strength of your OUTSIDE signal, so it's important to understand – if you’re expecting 7,500 square feet of coverage but have only one bar outside your home, you won’t get it. Realistic expectations of coverage in that scenario are more like 2,500-4,000 square feet.

The other major consideration is whether or not you’d prefer to install it yourself, or have someone do it for you.

Budget-Friendly Straight Talk Signal Booster for Home

weboost home studio
weBoost Home Studio - 470166

For small homes and office spaces for all carriers.

Buy Now at $349.99
  • 5G ready - Amplifies talk, text, and data
  • Up to 2,000 sq ft of coverage under best conditions
  • Up to +60 dB of gain
  • Works with all cellular devices across all carriers
  • Compact design, fits on any flat surface

The weBoost Home Studio is the newest addition to the weBoost home booster family and the most affordable. Not only is it compatible with Straight Talk devices, but with all US carriers.

Under perfect condition, meaning a strong outside signal and minimal Straight Talk signal interference, the Home Studio can cover areas up to 2,000 sq ft, enough for a small home, office, apartment, dorm, or condo. If you live in an area with weak outside signal, you’ll probably get around 200-500 sq ft – enough for 1-2 rooms. Rural areas will receive much less coverage.

Great starter kit for Straight Talk customers who have decent outside signal but struggle with a reliable connection in the rooms where it matters. If you live in a weak signal area, you probably won't see the results you want with the Home Studio and should consider an upgrade to the weBoost Home MultiRoom.

Straight Talk Signal Boosters For Cars and Other Vehicles

The Best Straight Talk Signal Booster for Cars

weboost drive reach
weBoost Drive Reach - 470154

Excellent for drivers in remote and urban areas.

Buy Now at $499.99
  • 5G ready - Better talk, text, and data speeds guaranteed
  • Up to +50 dB of gain - the max allowed for a mobile signal booster in North America
  • Highest uplink output of any vehicle booster
  • Works with all cellular devices across all carriers, including Straight Talk
  • Sleek, metallic exterior designed to displace excess heat for peak performance
  • Extremely customizable: variants for any type of vehicle and setup

The weBoost Drive Reach is the most powerful vehicle booster from Wilson Electronics, and is excellent at boosting Straight Talk signal

A slim outside antenna picks up the signals, and an indiscreet inside antenna (usually Velcroed to the driver seat) broadcasts the signal inside your vehicle. For optimal results, you have to be about an arm's length from the inside antenna to benefit from the boosted signal, so it's best for your typical sedan, truck, or SUV, but will work with any vehicle.

This is the best vehicle booster no matter where you live. With its increased uplink power, it can reach cell towers that are 2x further for twice the signal strength, making it much more powerful than its competitors and a strong performer in rural areas. Plus, it does a great job at handling more noisy urban environments than other signal boosters.

Highly recommended for Straight Talk customers.

Best Value Straight Talk Cell Phone Signal Booster for Cars

weboost drive x
weBoost Drive X - 475021

For drivers in urban, suburban, and some rural areas.

Buy Now at $399.99
  • Amplifies talk, text, and data - 5G ready
  • Up to +50 dB of gain
  • Works with all cellular devices across all carriers, including Straight Talk
  • Extremely customizable: variants for any type of vehicle and setup

The weBoost Drive X is a relatively inexpensive yet extremely reliable vehicle signal booster, ideal for Straight Talk customers in urban, suburban, and some rural areas. It’s more powerful than the old Drive 4G but not as powerful as the Drive Reach. Click here to see how the Drive X and Drive Reach compare.

With its +50 dB of gain and more range than its predecessor, it can communicate with relatively far distanced towers to provide you and your passengers with enhanced Straight Talk signal. It's an all-around performer for the city and the countryside. In weak signal areas, you and your passengers might have to be closer to the inside antenna to benefit from the amplified signal.

For those in extreme cases of poor signal, we recommend the Drive Reach, which is able to reach cell towers located much further.

Most Affordable Straight Talk Signal Booster for Cars

weBoost Drive Sleek - 470135

Best for urban and suburban driving.

  • 5G ready
  • Boosts talk, text, and Straight Talk data
  • For a single smartphone
  • Cradle signal booster
  • Up to +23 dB gain
  • Works with all cellular devices across all carriers, including Straight Talk

The weBoost Drive Sleek is about price and performance for a single Straight Talk device.

The kit includes a magnet mount antenna that can be easily installed on the roof of any vehicle and an adjustable cradle vent mount designed to hold any size smartphone or small tablet.

To benefit from the boosted signal, your cellular device has to be in the cradle. And when paired with a Bluetooth headset, it really shines for regular talk, text, and hands-free navigation.

It’s not the strongest performer in extremely remote locations. For those extreme cases, consider the Drive Reach.

Straight Talk Signal Boosters For Commercial Buildings

Most Popular Straight Talk Commercial Signal Booster

  • 5G ready - Boosts talk, text, and data
  • For commercial buildings
  • Up to 25,000 sq ft of coverage under best conditions
  • Up to +72 dB gain, with up to +24 dBm uplink and +12 dBm downlink output powers
  • Works with all cellular devices across all carriers
  • Expansion kits available to maximize coverage
  • Great for urban and rural areas

The weBoost for Business Office 100 is the most popular pro-grade Straight Talk signal booster for small businesses. However, Straight Talk subscribers who live in large homes or in extremely remote areas where maintaining a reliable Straight Talk signal seems impossible, the Office 100 has you covered. No more snail-like data speeds or dropped calls while working or relaxing in your home.

With gains up to +72 dB and enhanced output powers, the Office 100 can communicate with distant Straight Talk cell towers and cover buildings up to 25,000 sq ft under perfect conditions. For the most part, it averages around 10,000 to 15,000 sq ft, depending on the unit’s configuration and your outside signal strength. Extremely weak signal areas will receive much less coverage.

To maximize coverage and performance, the right cellular antenna configuration is extremely important. It's available with an omnidirectional antenna and a drop-tile ceiling indoor dome antenna for strong signal areas. For areas with extremely weak Straight Talk signal or buildings without drop-ceilings, we strongly suggest you consider the yagi/panel kit.

The Office 100 is perfect for small businesses that have a strong outside signal but experience spotty Straight Talk service throughout the building, as well as large homes and offices located in remote areas where tower distance and terrain make maintaining a Straight Talk connection extremely difficult.

FAQs

Will a Straight Talk Signal Booster work with my Straight Talk phone?

Absolutely.

Whether it's an iPhone, Samsung, Pixel, or any phone, if it's working on the Straight Talk network, then a Straight Talk signal booster will also improve reception to your phone.

Will a Straight Talk Signal Booster also improve my mobile hotspot?

Yes without question.

Improving your incoming 5G, 4G, and LTE service to your Straight Talk phone will also improve mobile hotspot service (personal hotspot, WiFi hotspot, and tethering) and mobile hotspot devices such as a cellular router.

What if I switch carriers in the future?

Our Straight Talk signal boosters from Wilson Electronics (weBoost & WilsonPro) are multi-carrier systems. This means they are also compatible with AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, US Cellular, and other major and local carriers.

They are future-proof!

What about Straight Talk 5G service?

Yeah... about that.

Signal boosters do work with 5G, but only with certain 5G frequencies. Click here to learn more.

Will 5G make my Straight Talk signal booster obsolete?

Nope.

4G LTE is still being built out across North America. If fact, 4G LTE is the backbone of the nation's wireless service. It's not going anywhere anytime soon, AND it's getting faster.

4G LTE is expected to peak in 2030-2035. So...come back in a decade and ask the same question and we might hava a different answer by then. But the answer is no, you're fine for at least 10-15 years and probably much more.
