I am confused. I see this product called Weboost and they say that it is meant for 4g lte signal boosting and then i see this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/FREE-SHIPPING-LCD-Display-Mini-GSM-900Mhz-Mobile-Phone-gsm-Signal-Booster-Repeater-Amplifier-With-Cable/1769061834.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.261.CIx0aK and I look at the price deference. I know the outdoor antenna is horrible from this and i was wondering if i buy an antenna from anywhere that has a coax cable would it work? antenna's like this that i can swap out of it and put in one like this http://www.amazon.com/Sobetter-Digital-Outdoor-Extremely-Performance/dp/B01C05BJDO?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=AP7613OREC00V
 
Solution
I suggest you be very careful with this - rebroadcasting cellphone signals on a cellphone frequency requires a frequency license, either by permission from your cellphone company, or you buying the license directly (this is in the millions). Neither the FCC nor the cellphone companies like people who illegally broadcast on frequencies they paid a lot of money to have exclusive use of.

That antenna won't work (or at least won't work well). It doesn't cover 900MHz (which the booster is using - note that not all phones use 900MHz, and that's a 2G/3G frequency), and may not be the correct impedance.
