I'm asking a question not starting a quarrel.

Does it make any difference if the booster in question is connected
directly to the cell phone and will only boost it's signal? I have
been considering installing one in my truck in order to improve
performance in marginal situations. I have been carrying an analog
bag phone for that but the cost for that extra account is high since
my carrier will not offer any low cost plans for analog use.
