I reside in a spot with weak signal, and I’m curious if there’s a satellite dish you could purchase or build to boost your phone’s cellular connection. You’re thinking about avoiding the high cost of expensive GSM chips and Ethernet extensions. This might be achievable with some DIY solutions.

Your mobile service comes from T-Mobile, AT&T, or Verizon; you might find a repeater that extends the 4G signal via your internet plan.

Also avoid believing you can purchase an unofficial cell repeater, as using them is against the law.

we have a cell repeater at the office, do you have anywhere that has enough signal to make a call out? repeaters can only repeat what they can receive so if you have ZERO reception anywhere then they are useless, also the indoor range on them is pretty garbage (like ours only works in the one room it's installed in), you have to be careful about positioning of the indoor unit so as to prevent it from causing a "feedback loop" with the outdoor unit. honestly better off on spending the money on newer cell phones, all the modern flagships from the last like 3 years (going as far back as at least the S7 and I think even the S6 but not sure on that one) have a feature burried in the settings called Wifi Calling, once enabled it allows that phone to send/receive text messages and make phone calls strictly through the home wifi with no need for any kind of cell service, this will give you MUCH BETTER coverage within your house and if you already have newer phones won't cost you anything (assuming you have internet/wifi at you house.

Are you sure it's the real thing? Official versions typically rely on your internet connection to connect to their network, so they don't require a physical cell signal to work.

the device we own is a Wilson model, it doesn't charge monthly, it doesn't rely on the internet—exactly what the person mentioned they didn't want. those from the network provider are expensive and add huge fees, plus they often cause problems inside buildings or with nearby homes. this Wilson works across multiple networks, similar to the ones criticized as "illegal," but we're outside where it performs almost no service and won't interfere. it's essentially an older version of the same product you linked, which you can notice loses signal when you leave a room.

It’s likely violating the forum’s rules, and linking an unauthorized repeater could result in serious penalties.

Its a US company, at least according to the site, address in Texas ( 5010 Wright Road, Suite 100 Stafford, TX, 77477) . So I doubt they are doing anything illegal. Well, at least nothing the orange guy in the White house gives a shit about. T Mobile only charges for the device and they dont charge a monthly fee. Just saying. However if the OP is not getting any signal even outside, they will have to use a carrier provided box. Because you cant amplify something that doesn't exist.

The information comes from a detailed blog post explaining the legality of cell phone signal boosters in the USA and Canada.

This topic isn’t my perspective, but locally most people don’t use T-mobile and the built-in Wi-Fi calling on phones has largely replaced the need for both traditional boosters and internet-connected boosters. I attempt to turn on any devices that enter our office so they can connect to public Wi-Fi networks, allowing us to disable those features.

It’s a device sold and purchased legally, easily available on platforms like Amazon. This doesn’t conflict with the site’s rules because there’s no indication of anything unlawful. The US company behind these products would have been shut down if this were illegal. Directly from the referenced page: our system is a Wilson product, we’ve operated for about 5 to 10 years, and even back in 2012 when my Droid Razr Max was used, there was no 4G coverage in the area. The only restriction mentioned is registration to disable them if network issues arise. They aren’t inherently illegal, and according to the FCC, they don’t interfere enough to require registration. You should still register them, but using Wilson devices isn’t against U.S. law—though laws may differ elsewhere.
