[QUOTE="Pheasant Surprise, post: 6218020, member: 1103"] Don't buy a "booster". Period. End of. Don't do it. Been there years ago and got the T-shirt. Utter waste of cash and time. Interestingly I see that [USER=9121]@TheTallGuy[/USER] has mentioned MobileRepeater - without wanting to invite claims of libel to TFF I would avoid that marque like the plague. I had a Mobile Repaeter unit exactly 10 years ago and it was absolutely **sh!t***. So yeah don't do that if you can help it at all :cool: Conversely if you simply need mobile "voice" services in your house / barn / shed /whatever you can very safely use a network provided femtocell (quite often called boosters, but they are actually small mobile cells - hence called femto or pico-cells). They go by network trade names for them like "SureSignal" for example by Vodafone. They work exactly in the same way - in that they setup a tiny (femto) Mobile cell in your house /whatever and use your broadband connection to provide a "backhaul" on to their network. They generally work fine, but the range is quite limited. Also any data comes off you mobile allowance.

Setup the router and especially external antenna in the best possibly location and run a network connection from there - don't forgot copper can easily support a 1000 Mb/s gigabit connection up to 100 metres on Cat 5 cabling or literally kilometres on fibre, so there's always a better way of doing this than those rubbish boosters.
