If I must register the device with my cellular provider, does that mean it only boosts signal from carrier you register it with or does it boost all?

The Wilson boosters are compatible with all major carriers regardless of whether you register it with your carrier or not. If you change carriers in the future you can still use the device with your new carrier. Hopefully this answers your question. Thank you.

It will boost all of the signals...as per my provider and Wilson directly, they stated that the reason is so the unit can be registered with the fcc so they are aware of the location of the device so it does not create any interference or overlaps of other frequencies.

All, so long as the tower is in the general direction of the external antenna.

Its great. However you need to ensure you have your carriers info just in case you have to go into the setting. I found this info from settings in the actual phone provided by the carrier.

i have this model, there is no cell tower close to my house and it works, I get good signal in the house. see http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/270960-at-t-micro-cell-device-m-n-dph153-at-thumbs-up-for-cell-signal-boostIf this doesn't answer your question, specify details needed.

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.

They make a non-mobile version of this device. "Wilson Electronics - 460101 DT 4G - Cell Phone Signal Booster for Small Home or Office"If you use a provider (like Verizon), you may be able to get a booster that extends their network via your internet as well.

yes, however!!! this device will only boost up your signal strength for phone calls, NOT THE INTERNET signal. 2 different things.

The information the comes with the unit says that it boosts the phone signal. I have AT&T; Kokia 520 and my wife has a flip phone and it improves the signal to both. The signal is only as good as the original picked up signal but move to an area that had no signal. You need to pick up the best signal you can and the unit will move tha signal to the transmittes location.

does this boost your 4g ? for example if i'm at an area with 3g will it boost it up to 4g?

Yep as long as you have a good mobile signal from your carrier. You'll of course need to add the device to your mobile plan.

should have a quick start guide with everything you need to activate it with the phone. Worst case call boost and they can talk you through it.

No, you don't have to activate it. You only have to activate it if you want to use it for calling and texting with the cell service provider (Boost). However, otherwise, you can use it over wifi to access internet, use apps, use camera, use music player, etc, all without activating it.

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

All the booster does is to boost the signal within the house. It uses the electrical system for the boost. It usually will connect itself with your router w/o having to input ssid password. Hope this helps

No, it doesn't. The way it works is that it provides antenna for better reception and then re-broadcasts to your phone. So in short, it's a signal booster, not an alternate signal path.

Sorry. I'm having some trouble figuring out your question, so I'm going to try and answer what I believe you are asking.... This device does not affect the WiFi at all. It is in simplest terms, a booster for your cell phone. However, if you are using your cell phone as your WiFi, then yes it can increase the signal of the cell phone, and in turn the WiFi. I really hope this helps. If I didn't answer your question, please repost and I will do my best.

It is irrelevant which service you use, it boost the signals the phone receives, your location would determine if your service is in the area.

It should have no effect on your phone provider's service. The device works from your home. It blocks the signal as it enters your home. Make sure that you read the instructions carefully and thoroughly.
