Customers recognize that the Flare 4G Cell Phone Signal Booster has issues with signal strength. Some customers have reported that the device switches between bands, and they did not see much difference in signal. Other customers live in rural areas far from cell towers, or their homes are constructed with materials that weaken the signal.
Our rural home is miles from the nearest cell tower, and our outside signal is marginal to begin with. In addition, our house is concrete and foam construction, which weakens the signal further. The Flare with the Omni antenna was very easy to set up and test run. There is a real difference in using a phone as a hotspot for live online Zoom classes. We can also talk on our cellphones without dropping calls! For a family that is not tech savvy, this has been a lifesaver for our college student, and a nice upgrade for the rest of us!

Idk if this thing works but I couldn’t get it to. It may have been bc my device is not compatible too. I have a T-mobile hotspot but I’m in a rural area without good reception. Verizon is pretty much the only provider that works here. I’m not tech savvy either so I don’t want to ruin the rating averages but I just thought I’d let others know that I couldn’t get it to increase cellular coverage for t-mobile in rural Nebraska, for what it’s worth

We could not get any reception in our shop with the doors closed. Works great in our 30x40 metal shop.
