Under 47 CFR section 20.21(a), the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) requires all customers register their cell phone signal booster with their cellular provider. This allows cellular carriers to better monitor their network (contact your carrier for more information).
All major carriers within the USA have agreed to the use of signal boosters on their networks and will provide an option to register your booster for no charge.
