Solved: Signal Booster for Personal Use

Anonymous · ‎08-04-2015

Hi

I'm sure this has been discussed many times so I apologise in advance. O2 dont offer signal boosters to personal users yet their quality of coversage decreases in our area.

Anyone got recent experience of purchasing a signal booster please? Quality, Price, where from etc?

Thank you in advance

You cannot buy these for use in the UK except from O2 who only sell them to business users.

If you mean a Femtocel booster which runs through your LAN router, then download TuGo which is a software solution for an old problem. Providing you have a Wi-Fi signal obviously.

Indubitably true. Samsung S21 Ultra and Xiaomi 14 Ultra

Illegal to use in UK so don't buy any off ebay or amazon etc unless you want jail time.

The Tugo App doesnt seem to get great write ups and suggestinos of problems with iphone so is it worth it?

Probably have to wait for their alleged upgrades to the network !!

I use TuGo all the time on iPhone and 99% it works fine.

Odd occasion had to redial, but works great for me.

Also, I believe that TuGo has just had an update, I'd suggest give it a try, you have nothing to lose. From personal experience and that of others have heard its been a great help. Plus, if you have WiFi connection overseas you can also use it abroad!
