No registration is required. I've only seen one bar increase in signal strength if I put your phone very close to the internal antenna, sometimes that helps but generally not much.  The gain on the tiny external antenna on top of the trailer is pretty poor which is largely to blame.  A physically larger external antenna with a higher gain would be helpful but not worth the expense / effort in my opinion.  If I don't have a decent cell signal I use StarLink. 

To address weBoost comments by you, @Galileoand @Mike and Carol:

I’ve been practicing this procedure a few years and find it to be very useful information. I’ve even been able to get service in a park known to have very limited to ‘No Cell Service’! Having my weBoost antenna mounted atop a 16’ fiberglass flagpole helps, as well!

Exactly.  We’ve been using this technique for the last 8 or 9 years.  BTW, Davis Mountains State Park is one of our favorites.  Mike

Last year or so - when everything seemed to go from USB-A to USB-C,

I replaced the double USB-A with these since we have both kinds of cords:

Those look similar (or exactly the same) as the one I bought to try out - and have yet to install.

We have both styles of USB cords as well.
