Do Cell Boosters Work?

Moved into a new house and my wife's office has zero cell phone coverage - We tried to use the WIFI calling feature and that does not help
Has anyone had success with a Cell Phone booster? which one?

Of course they work. I believe you're supposed to let your cell provider know you have one, though.
Another option if service is poor outside your house is to get a microcell from your provider. It connects to your home internet and puts cell coverage inside and around your house.
But I've never had a problem with wifi calling. What provider and phone do you have?

Installed a HiBoost for buddy’s farm where they had zero service inside the house. Works like a charm!

ATT - just seems to be a dead spot right in my wife's office - goes to zero bars immediately
Great ideas - I will check both out

I’m rural and bought a Wilson and it works great. I believe Wilson owns We Boost and I’ve read great reviews on both.

They are very close in name but I believe Wilson owns weBoost.
As a poster mentioned above, if you do get a booster, make sure you register it with your cell provider.

i hae ZERO cell coverage where i live. doesn't matter who the provider is.
tmobile gave me a free LTE booster and other than the fact it counts against my comcast data since it plugs into the router, its the bomb. 5 bars, full LTE at my house and even well away in the yard.
much better than the wifi signal

I fixed my mistake, thx. Curious tho, why do I have to register with the cell provider? I honestly never knew this, can I get in trouble?
