Sam,

Do yourself a favor and install a Wilson Trucker cell antenna on the side of 
your trailer. You want the antenna and a little adaptor for your individual 
phone.

Mine has made a tremendous difference between "no service" and two or three 
bars.

I think there's a photo in the photo section of my installed antenna.

You can buy the antenna and adaptor at most truck stops.
