repeaters or boosters [Telecom]

phones? I want to put an antenna in my house to improve reception and
use generally. I'm not all that interested in renting some sort of
cell phone to voip service from a provider, but rather making the
house a better place for cell traffic generally.
Most of the stuff I've found is all but written by the supplier, the
rest [is] about voip converters.

Do you have a minimally decent Internet connection in your house?
Our house is in a cellphone dead zone for Verizon -- we get one
flickering signal bar ("tower") in the display on our phones, and
essentially unusable connectivity.
After years of this, we just bought a Verizon "femtocell" (Wireless
Network Extender); plugged it into one of the Ethernet ports on our
Comcast router; it got itself connected to its mother ship within
minutes; and now we have essentially our own private tower, with 4
bars throughout the house. Purchase price $220 (my wife argued the
Verizon store down from $250 on the basis of the lousy signal strength
in our area); handles three or four simultaneous calls; and no monthly
charges. The user guide says it will work with 400 KB DSL, though we
have a lot more bw from Comcast. Seems great; if you have any
questions about it, I can try to respond.

There are two ways you can go about this.
1) You can get an antenna to place on your dwelling and run coax down
into your place with an amplifier that feeds into your mobile
phone.
2) You can also get a repeater which will amplify the signal strong
enough to feed multiple phones at your location from manufacturers
such as Wilson Electronics. It can cost you upwards of $700 but if
you have marginal reception it's probably what you need.

I've no idea if these products are any good, but they are much less than
$700:
