MUST you call the carrier to alert them that you are using the booster?

Yes- you are required by LAW to register with your carrier.Keep in mind now that this is required I expect carriers to begin charging for finding an interfering unit if you have NOT registered it. I have personally been involved in finding bad units and it can easily cost the carrier many thousands of dollars in labor to do so.

I didn't. There isn't any reason to. It is to low in power to worry about FCC regulations. It even works with out power just not as well.

Not at all. Your carrier doesn't care whether or not you have 1 bar or 5 bars on your phone. This enhances the signal. On my Sprint here at the office, which is notorious for bad reception, we went from 3 bars and 3G to 3 bars and 4G. Your mileage may vary.

Richard, As long as you get a signal from your carrier somewhere in or around your home either outside of a window or preferably on your roof or in the attic (if you have one), you mount the antenna where you get the strongest signal then route the cable to the booster inside where your going to need the signal. I put mine in my attic and routed it to the room I needed it in. Keep in mind that the signal looses strength as you leave the room that the booster in mounted in so, if you have a lot of walls in your house you will lose signal strength the further you get from the device.

Call the carrier and give them the model number - the carrier can answer your question.

At the time it was just a boost phone however now most phone carrier's allow you to bring any phone to their service. It should not be a issue. I would check with the service provider prior just in case. though

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

Your network provider provides this information by calling a particular number.

Although unlocked, not sure if you can bring it to boost. Best bet is to call them.

In my case, they "associated" their booster with my iPad which was in my living room, and my wired modem was in my bedroom, about 900 feet away. If you have any questions, please call them: 888 5738820, they are on pacific time & are really there to help.

You can ask a neighbor or friend who may now be using another carrier. The old box is probably still in their house just collecting dust on the wall.

Coax cable (the antenna) connects to your booster .. Without your antenna, your booster ( the addition you place your phone on ) will not work or Boost your signal. It gets screwed on to the booster

This is only an antenna. The booster is separate and the antenna connects to it. It is always best to have an antenna above ground. This antenna is made for a truck, but will workwith devices, such as Verizon's Home Phone Connect box, in a home. You may have to get an adapterfor the connection to the box.

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.

It does not announce who the caller is. You need to look at your phone to see specifically who is calling.

When you turn the phone on, if its Verizon, dial star 228 or call your carrier and they will do it for you

Yes. We have 4g and we went from 2 bars to 5. Our first booster didn't work though, so if your phone doesn't connect, chances are it's a faulty tower.
77850
Yes. As long as the network you are using is one that this booster specifies it will pick up.

Not with boost. I think you would have to call and it would definitely be extra.
