I show one bar of 4G, but only when my cell phone is set to roaming. Will this booster help me?

Yes if your cell is receiving one bar at 4g the DataBlast will Amplify that signal incoming and outgoing. I work in one of the largest Steel Mills on earth with very thick metal walls and know of at least 6 different departments that use the zBooster to gain Phone reception in this Mill. So if a bunch of Mill rats depend on it you can too!

Roaming has more to do with your carrier. If you get 4G on roaming only might need to check with your carrier. As for me I would get 1 bar of 4G in the Winter if I stood on the kitchen counter. When the leaves came I forget it. I know get 3-4 bars now with the leaves on the trees. Putting the base on the other side of a wall from your cell/MiFi will reduce signal. I am trying to find a wall mount for this ti assist me. I now get consistant 15-19mbps through it. Just a reminder, this is data only. It will not help with calls.

This is only a data booster not to be confused with a signal booster or amplifier.

I don't know the awswer to your question but I can tell you how to find out. Googel "signal frequencies for your model phone." Each provider, like AT&T;" uses differnt frequencies -- usually two. There are 20 frequencies to pick from and buying a booster for all is expensive. The Google the signal frequencies for your phone and signal booster. This will tell you which one to buy and Amazon is probably the best place.

My experience has been that it works for both, but only if you have a fairly weak signal to begin with. If I have three or four bars on my signal, I get little or no results. If I have one or two bars, I get great results with 3G or 4G. It will increase by at least one or two bars. It seems to have at least as good, or even better results with my verizon phone as with my jetpack. I would highly recommend this antenna as well as all the products I have purchased from Wilson.

I'm using a T-Mobile sim card. Usually have 3G, but do get "H+" with all 4 bars lit up meaning 4G according to my T-Mobile store.

I have recently ported my number to Verizon, but I had Trac phone for quite a while and my booster definitely helped the signal strength on my trac phone and my wife's Verizon phone at the same time. It did not seem to help when Trac phone went out of service, as their system seemed to be intermittant at best. Good Luck.

i have tmobile data included sim card, sometimes in 4g signal sometimes dropping to 3g... it also can pick up a wifi signal from any surrounding wifi spot

No - this one is the bare bones of the bunch. There is another Wilson on the market (Amazon) that, if I am not mistaken, is for the iphone 3G and 4G networks. You may need to go with an actual booster kit. cost more but if you need the signal power, it may be the way to go. Watch the "fine print" it will state which carriers they do not do well on.

Dear Donna. From my experience with this product so far, it does not work as advertised. I live in a hilly area, about 4 miles from a tower. I get average bars of signal at my house without the unit. The only thing the unit seems to boost is the Wi-Fi strength if my wireless internet in the house. It dies nit seem to boost my cell signal whatsoever. Sincerely, Ken W.

To clarify. My booster only supports phones and devices of 800 & 1900 mhz. It does not support 4G or 2100mhz.

This antenna gave me full bars of what ever service I was receiving. (If I had two bars of 4g without booster, I would have full bars 4g with booster)

This is what I think, it doesn't matter what you use but I noticed mine wasn't hardly working until recently I set it to automatic in its settings and bam! Now it says 4G and the signal is better. I didn't know this and was about to get rid of this thing along with some other junk electronics but was just going through the settings and when I set it to automatic it picked up the signal where I was and its good to go now. I think you just have to enter the password from the device and it should work with anything I think. I have Verizon so obviously it works. Hope this helps.

Where I live I have no signal. After purchasing the MobilePro and attaching the antenna to a window (inside) and connecting the device I have 3-4 bars and have been told it is as clear as my land line. I also use the MobilePro in my truck and have had a full signal where I have been told my provider has no signal. Heavy foliage in the summer does affect the signal.

Disregard my last answer a second ago, as was answered from another person this booster is a SINGLE user booster. What your after is the Wilson 801201 Dual Band Wireless Mobile Amplifier. This will allow multiple users to connect on the 2g 3g (not 4g lte) bands. The amount of users is based on outside signal factors, the device itself has no limit.

Jeff,The booster will not increase bandwidth, just give you extended range. Even at optimal conditions, funneling all your traffic (skype & internet for multiple users) through a cellular connection is questionable. Your biggest issue is whether you have 3G or 4G service. If 4G, you may be able to do what you want. Also, if you're using video over skype it uses a LOT of bandwidth and will slow ever other user of the connection to a crawl.If you have 3G only service, I would say forget it.

No. The booster is a stand alone unit. It should work by just putting your phone in the clips.

I placed the booster on the outside back cover. It seams to help by raising the signal only one bar. I had terrible reception in my family room and dropped some calls. Now I do not drop any.

Hi: I use the booster in my motorhome on the beach with a 100 foot cliff next to me that stops cell signals. The phone works great but data is marginal.I use a 110 v adapter. hope this helps, Tom
