I have an active one for my truck from wilson electronics. Direct connection.

Works when coverage is marginal. I believe there are threads on this already. The search function works wonders.

I have a 3 amp Wison repeater. I hard wire it to a directional YAG antenna on a 20' extendable flag pole. Found the little 12" magnetic antenna just didn't help much.

This is where I got mine. They offer package deals - antenna, adapter and amplifier, such as the one below for a Verizon cell phone. Just make sure your phone has a connection for an external antenna, and get to the correct adapter. Most cell phones have this connection, but some don't.
