I tried this one but returned it: https://www.amazon.com/Atcall-Booster-Vehicle-Signal-Carriers/dp/B0FSXY6KMN It did work, but it still needs coverage and didn't seem reliable (for me anyway). The Starlink system is a much better option I believe. Yes, they are expensive and charge a monthly fee, but they work well everywhere from what I have seen.
