Google this: "Cell Phone Signal Boosters" and make sure you browse for CDMA compatible devices. Many of them are complete JUNK though so watch out, although I've used some that have been effective (if you have decent service outside your home). Read all the booster product reviews (not just the few on top haha) and double check that you're looking at a signal booster for your *home not your *car...and again continue to make sure that the device is for CDMA (Verizon) not GSM (Others).
FYI: Signal Boosters are simply antennas that run from outside your home that re-direct the available outdoor cell signal to an indoor booster that acts as a sort of "WiFi router" if you will, in which it creates a bubble of signal directly around the indoor boost antenna. Now if the signal you have outside your home is completely lacking/non-existent (not even a single strong point, normally on the roof is best if possible) then yes the Verizon Network Extender is your best and only option. The network extender basically takes Verizon's service through the cable lines to your home (as they would for internet service) and create a "mini cell tower," if you will, in your home. Very cool. Very effective. Not very cheap.
P.S. Dear Verizon forum moderator(s), I would like to again reiterate that I do fully endorse the use of said Verizon Network Extender as it is the best option for one with bad cell phone service at home.
