Free T-Mobile Signal Booster (If you qualify)
Last time this was posted was about a year ago:
https://slickdeals.net/f/6021070-t-mobile-offered-me-the-new-cel-fi-rs2-no-contract-extension-required-ymmv
I thought I would re-post this because more people are switching over to TMO. And after reading the last post and talking to TMO tech support they ran out of them last year.
I have the older one that only works on T-Mobile branded phones. The newer model lets you use devices that you may have brought over from other carriers to TMO.
This doesn't boost data speeds, but boost the cell signal 3G/4G (not LTE, since LTE isn't used for voice calls) for voice calls. If you have at least one bar of 3G signal you should be able to qualify for this device. Not sure if it works on prepaid plans. My works and I have full bars in my house.
All the info is on TMO's page here:
https://support.t-mobile.com/comm...al-booster
Basically call in and tell them you want a signal booster because you only have one bar in your house.
They may charge shipping, but I can usually get my waived.

"How much does a Signal Booster cost?
T-Mobile makes Signal Boosters available at no extra cost to customers who meet certain qualifications."
"Can I still obtain a Signal Booster if I don't meet the qualifications?
You may also purchase one directly from Cel-Fi."
Cel-Fi list the price to be $575.00
Amazon $575.00 + $7.49 shipping

They may substitute for the older model which I have and works just as good.

I just called. The two eligibility requirements were stated to me as follows:
:
1) Must get at least 1 or 2 bars of 3G/4G signal in home (by a window at least)*. If there is no signal to begin with, there is nothing to "boost". 2) Phone bill must be at least $50. My plan is above $50 but below $50 below discounts, and apparently I was eligible, so maybe YMMV depending on how closely the rep looks into it. *The way the booster works is it has two pieces tethered together; one is placed by the window or wherever gets the strongest signal while the other is placed in a more central location of the home. It was very easy, they didn't ask for anything else but YMMV as others have stated. |

You shouldn't have fee 200mb tablet plan unless you have voice service. It's a requirement.

These were not being issued.
I have Tmo iPhone 5S and would get 3 bars in one room and "No service" in rest of the house.
My wife with former ATT iPhone 4 had similar issues.
I called support and explained that I would like to stay with the service but have poor reception in the house.
They shipped me one of those things at no charge. I have to return it to TMO if I ever cancel their service.
I almost bought one of the previous generation units on eBay for $250
Very deceptive, although I admit to almost falling for the legerdemain. Maybe T-Mobile is using this to give the appearance of appeasement for its unfortunate customers until they can finish the 2G/3G to 4G roll out?
On the other hand, I am a T-Mobile customer and I receive excellent reception at home and at work (usually LTE, 4 and 5 bars). At this time, I am currently satisfied with my local coverage. The reception drops considerably when I go to buildings with multiple floors (usually the below ground floors) but I experienced similar drops while on AT&T.
The only situation where I can describe the coverage is consistently poor (2G/EDGE coverage, Verizon's "GPRS" service, and other extended service areas like "Movistar") is when I am traveling out of town. Particularly while on the interstate 10 highway (east or west) until I hit a major metro.
That seems odd, can anyone confirm?
