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. |

If you look on some of the earlier posts, I know i posted something along the lines of what I went over with the rep that helped me at the time.
MAy help to just try different times, -shrugs- won't hurt
let me know how it goes

but then I received a survey to complete in my email. I trashed the company and Cs big time and checked off I wouldn't recommend them, blah blah blah. I then get a phone call from another department pertaining to my survey. I told them about my reception at home and I really had no problem dropping them. Well you know the rest. I did get one sent. And I did get the phone call from the cs as promised and I told him I was getting the extender, he sounded surprised.
So I called customer support shortly after I saw the OP's post and they said they'd "look into" the service in my area. They said they'd call back in a few days but never did. I kind of forgot about it.
Today I got an incoming call from a rep who said they would send me the booster for free (no shipping).
I expect to get some good use from this device since I do have some parts of my house where I lose signal but some parts where everything is great. Also I hope I can use it when traveling to help boost marginal reception in some places. It is too bad it doesn't also support GSM as some places in the boonies don't have 3G yet at all.
Thanks a bunch OP!
Apparently they know "old" houses interfere with the signal and thus won't give it out to people in homes. Rep said that apartments are normally given boosters since signals can reach through?

same here. got it completely free, and since it shipped in state, it arrived the next day.
calling over wifi has never worked well, so we were looking for an alternative. we were a little skeptical about this, but holey buckets-- this thing is amazing!!
the best reading we could get on the booster was 5. it varies between 3-5, but we now have full bars and LTE all over.
didn't qualify or it didn't work?
