bad cell phone reception in house. What to do?

I live out in the country. We just discontinued our land line and long distance service. My wife and I each have a cell phone (verizon) and new to us broadband wireless (sprint). For cell service if I stand right at the front door of my house I can get 2 bars but if I move into the interior of the house I get 0 bars. I frequently drop calls or miss calls when I am inside my house.

I want to increase the reliability of the cell service. I was thinking of buying a cell repeater to mount inside the house to boost reception. I am hoping this will also boost our internet speed as well.

What do you guys suggest?

Here are some repeaters I am thinking about...

from what I understand our cell phone service and broadband internet run off the same frequency.

Regards,
Speedy
