Mobile phone signal booster.

[Lekyrog]

I am looking for a mobile signal booster. EE have now discontinued their booster box.

I cant get a signal in my house at all.

Hi @IT2477 

I am sorry to hear this.

Does the EE Coverage & Network Status Checker, show good coverage for your area indoors and out?

@IT2477    Every customers has different situations and in your case you say you don’t have access to Wi-Fi so obviously that can not be recommended to you.   But if a customer has access to Wi-Fi then yes most definitely Wi-Fi calling is recommended in poor to no signal areas because that’s what it’s for.

  Just like it used to be “you need a signal box”

The signal "boosters" are simply 3G picocells. 3G is now a legacy technology and is being actively switched off network-wide.

Anywhere that you have a broadband connection, that same router should usually allow wireless connections to enable WiFi-calling.

Hi

I found a solution, anyone needing a booster now EE do not do their own can use the Mobile Signal Solutions self install boosters.

There are three types but as a EE customer all works as they all broadcast the 1800MHz band which is what EE uses for 99% of the coverage. The other bands 800MHz and 900 MHz are mainly for Vodafone and o2.

The dearest one is 700MHz included amplifier which is 5G, I don't know what EE will use for 5G to be honest, but I think a EE booster that does 1800MHz will be ok for the near to mid future at least.

I know there are other amplifiers a little cheaper but they all seem to be broadband and those are not allowed by Ofcom as they broadcast across teh entire 1800MHz spectrum and can cause the networks damage and reduce coverage for all of us.

EE's base coverage layer is 1800Mhz, but in some specific locations 800Mhz is the only service. 700Mhz is primarily 5G-deployment alongside 4G-800Mhz, but there is some very limited 4G usage.
