will this device boost my data signal or just the voice signal?

This would work on 3G in USA, not 4G. They would boost both voice and signal

In the "before you buy" section, it says that it only boosts the signal horizontally, not vertically, so it may not help with the basement signal much! Let us know if it does, though!

Patrick is correct, see below.... This will boost your wireless signal only (to improve wireless range) has nothing to do with your operating system.

Clarifying, this will only transmit the internet speed that you have, it will not boost it, but as far as your signal reliability it's much reliable then wi-fi meaning you will have internet connection in areas where wi-fi does not reach. Hope this helps

It boosts the cellular signal in the phone. So say you have 3g or 4g or lte on your phone. By sitting your phone in this cradle you get more bars. Or in areas where there be no bars it will usually give you a weak signal. You must have a cell phone plan active for this to work. It's not free signal. It is not designed for WIFI either. Just for cellular. Also Wilson makes a model for 3g, 4g, and LTE so make sure you get the correct model for your phone type

No. This is a dual frequency band amplifier, it will boost the signal strength for the cell phone (like Verizon's') signal that is transmitted from the cell tower and also will boost the signal from your cell phone back to the cell tower.if you have an internet PCS 'air card' or 'hot spot' card it will boost those signals also so that you can get better data transfer rates on your computer while using the internet.

If you are presently getting a weak signal, I think this would make a stronger signal. If presently no signal, I don't believe it would help. You also need to take into account if router you are trying to get signal from is near a window(which would help), or if there are trees etc, that would interfere with signal.

Can you tell me what type of the devices that you used to strengthen the signal (name, model, the frequency)

I use it on my android but the instruction is to install an app so it would seem the app might be the factor and if you use an iPhone that app would translate the signal to your phone type.

It simply boosts your local cell signal. If you had LTE access with your cell coverage then I'd say yes. Can always email the folks at Wilson too.

Does the booster work for improving data coverage too? I have Tmobile and live in a rural area so my coverage mostly stays on the edge network.I definately need at least 3G on my cell. Thanks

It worked for me. It is much better at picking up the cell phone signal. I hooked it up to my Wilson box.

I placed the booster on the outside back cover. It seams to help by raising the signal only one bar. I had terrible reception in my family room and dropped some calls. Now I do not drop any.

The answer is Yes, this device powers cellular signals. I do not own the 4G model, but I do own the 3G model and it increases the signal of my hotpost. Any hotspot uses cell signals and therefore, it will increase the signal. In fact when I do not have my amplifier turned on I only get about 1-2mbps down and 0.5mbps up, and ping is around 250. When I turn it on I get 5-8mbps down, and 1-3mbps up, and ping is less than 100. Well worth the investment.

I have the 4G version booster and Verizon service. It works great. I was getting next to no signal before I installed this booster. Now I have 4G almost all the time. The booster I purchased is for the internet signal only - it does not help the phone signal. I didn't realize until I was doing research for this purchase that the phone signal and internet signal on a cell phone are 2 different signals and some of the boosters are for internet, some are for phone, and some are for both. The customer service people at Wilson were very helpful in helping me decide what I needed. I would talk to them. I have the 4G version booster and Verizon service. It works great.

This can be confusing. My understanding is that this device is for data amplification, which is what I'm using it for, specifically Verizon's 4g lte technology. Phone signals as I understand, are in the 3G Frequency spectrum and this device will not do phone(voice). I suggest you call a technical rep at the Site you are looking at this device and confirm what I have just stated. Good luck.

If you are serious about a major increase of cellular signal in your vechicle..the solution is a simple one.
