Booster or repeater for Verizon cell phones

[Rombalds]

Good morning.  We have two 3 G Android phones on Verizon.  The signal strength (both phone and internet) in and near our house is truly appalling. Live in Austin so is not a tower issue (multiple towers around). We are due for upgrade but might look at alternative providers also. In the meantime, pls advise: 1) Do repeaters or boosters work?  2) Would I be best with a rooftop antenna? (3) Any recommended brand (Wilson seems common)? (4) any other advice? (5) Is this the correct forum/message board for this topic?  Many thanks for any help offered !!!!!
