Ofcom Compliance. Signal Boosters. Help Needed Please

[CMCMANN]

Not sure if anyone can help, I researched and called Ofcom for advice, I  found a company that sells Ofcom listed self install boosters, they say they work with all networks including Three. The best deal I could get was a £100 off this 5G booster for £1050, which I can pay but it's still a lot, the company does not offer stage payment so I have to pay all up front. Does anyone know if there is a better deal I can get for a legal 5G booster that will cover Three ? There was a cheaper booster but the rep (nice lad) said it would noy be good enough for 5G. I called Three customer service who informed me they no longer supply any but that THree uses the 2100MHz so a cheaper booster should work. I read that the 2100MHz band is only £G and is being switched off anyway and that would mean this booster would be useless. Does anyone know what band I need for 5G for Three and if a cheaper mobile phone booster like this one will work or if I do need to spend the 1k and get the expensive booster? Thanks all!

Hi @CMCMANN,

Sorry to see there hasn't been any other response to your post. Did you purchase and test a booster in the end, if so how did this turn out? It sounds like you were referring to the Home Signal devices we supplied for 3G signal over 3rd party Broadband connections. I don't think this is precisely the same type of device as those were technically a small Three cell (sometimes referred to as a femto cell).

We don't supply devices like these boosters, so I'm not in a position to recommend them, but did you go ahead with this, or find any other solution? Generally the recommended option for poor indoor signal is to use Wi-Fi calling which supports calls and texts, and as you'd have Wi-Fi coverage in that situation this takes care of Data.

Thanks,
Jonathan
