Hello,The WiFi Booster will only extend the range of your WiFi. It will not help your cellular phone service.

Nichole, This is device is WiFi Booster. It makes your internet signal stronger thus expanding the area of coverage. This device has nothing to do with your wireless or mobile service (i.e. voice calls). The main purpose of this device is to increase your internet signal so you can use it throughout your house or apartment. For instance, if you use your mobile phone to access the internet and you have a weak internet signal as a result of a distance then this device is for you since it will increase the distance of your in home internet coverage. Also, if you use your verizon service to make calls through the internet then the answer is yes, it should expand your area of coverage and consequently boost you verizon signal, but that's only if you use your phone to make calls over the internet. This device is only to boost internet signal on your mobile device (e.g. mobile phone, tablet, notebook, etc.) and not the regular phone signal.

It won't boost the Verizon signal, only your wifi signal in your home. If you are using a feature such as wifi calling, where your phone uses the internet to boost your signal, then this can help extend the area where you get good wifi so it could help in that way, but it does not boost the cell reception itself. So if you are using wifi calling and your wifi signal is dropping out, this can help, but if you are talking about your regular cell and 3g/4g, this will not help. Feel free to follow up if you need any more help :-)

if verizon is your phone service then NO - this only boost your wi fi signal - not your phone service

No, this is for WiFi not telephone service. This will help our verizon WiFi on your smartphone but not the cell phone signal.

The booster only helps increase wifi internet access, not phone reception. Hope this helps.

I can't answer that as I use home wireless through my phone company. I would suggest talking to the people at your Verizon store.

This is NOT a signal booster. It is a repeater only. Wherever you have the best signal outside is where you place the outside antenna. It will then reproduce that signal inside for you. So if you cannot make a phone call outside this is not for you unless you plan on mounting the antenna on a mast.

I'm connected to UVerse and all is fine. If U R connecting to your Verizon cell - I can't help

I am not sure because we never got to use it. I would make sure that the phone will have service in your area first.

I also use wireless for my home. The wireless broadcaster plugs into an old fashioned phone jack and communicates with 4 handsets. What I did was connect the phone blocker to a separate old fashioned phone jack (we have lots of them in the house), and it works despite the separately connected wireless broadcaster. When a blocked call comes in, the wireless broadcaster rings once before the blocker cuts off the blocked call. Can't tell you specifically about Verizon, but that's how it works at my my home. Hope this helps. Don

Yes. This requires an Internet connection (preferably reasonably high speed and reliable). The device creates an effective "cell tower" in your home, so your cell phone thinks it has good coverage. But, in order for it to complete a call, or present your device with a data connection, it needs to route all of the traffic over the Internet, hence it needs something like a "cable connection", DSL, or FiOS, etc.

Yes, as I am using it now with Verizon. I get from 1 to 2 bars improvement in strength.

My understanding is that Tmobile no loner offers the @home service. It is voice over IP using your internet connection and when it was offered it was a separate item that has nothing to do with your cell service.

It did help with extending the Wi-Fi area that I was using to get to patio area and backyard.went from 1 bar to 4

Same here - I guess that is how it works since it is a call center phone. It sucks though and customer service is non existent. The consolation is it is good for outbound calls. You can use a 2 way phone splitter and just use it for calling out.

No, you shouldn't need that. First thing I would suggest is to confirm you are set to "away" mode under settings when away from your home network. If the problem is more complex than that, I would recommend setting up a call with customer service, as the fix takes several steps. The customer service rep is fantastic and will get it working.

Try a Verizon cell phone where you want to use the device. If you have good connectivity with the cell phone, then home connect should work fine. We have had good luck with ours.

You will need 1 blocker because you have one incoming phone line. Good luck I hope it works for you.

Sorry, I don't use that service in my home so can't reply with an accurate answer. I checked the manual and could find no information about VOIP.

They supplied me with one after months of arguing with them about dropping my phone calls. I did a factory reset, new phone, then new sim card and nothing worked. I should be receiving this from Verizon today and hopefully it solves my issues. I had no issue with my service the first year I had the phone then they believe they lost a contract with a tower which made my signal drop down.

As long as you have Wi-Fi you do not need service mine connects to Wi-Fi at home or any free Wi-Fi If it is through a company with no Wi-Fi then you will need service
