Cell phone signal boosters amplify any existing T-Mobile signal, giving you reliable talk, text, and data. There are a wide variety of T-Mobile signal boosters for many different applications. Fortunately, our experts have narrowed the field to just the best of the best.
With the recent merger between Sprint and T-Mobile, coverage for these carriers has increased dramatically. The combined Sprint and T-Mobile now claim to have the largest 5G network, and pledge increase its capacity by 14x over the next few years. It’s likely that Sprint will be entirely folded into T-Mobile within the next few years.
Many around the nation will still struggle with Sprint signal, even with all these improvements. That’s where a Sprint cell phone signal booster comes in.
No. They're completely different products.
A Sprint Network Extender needs to be connected to a broadband landline internet to work. In short, it acts as a personal cell tower by converting your broadband landline to cell signals and vice versa.
A Sprint Signal Booster takes your pre-existing weak cell signals, and amplifies that 3G & 4G LTE into your home, office, or car. Think of it like a megaphone, it enhances the signal for your phone to pick up.
A Sprint Signal Booster and here's why:
A Sprint Network Extender needs internet (in-home WiFi router) to work. It requires a minimum speed up of 10 Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplink to provide reliable service.
But here are the pitfalls:
But if you don't have a landline internet service provider nor have access to it–especially rural areas, then a Sprint booster is the best choice, since it doesn't require any type of internet or WiFi service to work.
It simply reaches farther to the nearest cell tower, bypasses multiple interference, and brings stronger signal to your phone.
Absolutely.
Sprint mobile hotspot routers use 3G & 4G LTE signals, and that's what signal boosters do: enhance 3G & 4G LTE signal!
From the Sprint Jetpack to MiFi, it'll get better signal and speeds, especially if the Sprint 4G router has an external antenna port that can directly connect to the Sprint signal booster.
Yes, yes, and yes.
Whether it's an iPhone, Galaxy, Pixel, or any phone, if it's working on the Sprint network, then a signal booster will also improve reception to your phone.
Our Sprint signal boosters from Wilson Electronics (weBoost & WilsonPro) are multi-carrier systems. This means they are also compatible with AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, US Cellular, and other major and local carriers.
They are future-proof!
Yeah... about that.
The 5G standard has not been officially set by the 3GPP. Therefore carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile are pre-building our their 5G services by upgrading their current 4G LTE and giving it names like 5G Evolution, First on 5G, 5G+,etc.
But no, it's not the real 5G. It's pre-5G, fake 5G– it's literally 4G LTE on steroids.
The real 5G should launch by the end of 2020.
Nope.
4G LTE is still being built out across North America. If fact, 4G LTE is the backbone of the nation's wireless service. It's not going anywhere anytime soon, AND it's getting faster.
4G LTE is expected to peak in 2030-2035. So...come back in a decade and ask the same question and we might hava a different answer by then.
