Signal boosters for iPhone - 12/03/16 12:06 AM
My daughter, who lives in another city, writes to inquire about a booster for her cell phones. Where she works in her apartment, signals tend to drop. She has an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 5C.
A local store has a really good price for a weBoost Drive 3G-S Cell Phone Signal Booster. My daughter asks, "My phones often pick up 4G and LTE signals. Will a 3G booster work?"
My initial simple-minded assumption was that any 3G unit should pick up 4G signals but only process them at 3G speed and quality. However, the on-line manual for the unit says: "The Drive 3G-S works with all major North American cellular providers on the 800 & 1900 MHz frequencies. Traditionally, 800/1900MHz are associated with voice and 3G data; while 700MHz and 1700/2100MHz are associated with 4G data.
Is Dad out to lunch?
