“Would this system work (theoretically as long as I had a roaming signal to amplify) if it was installed in an office in Baraboo, Wisconsin and I was traveling with a mobile phone roaming from Canada? I am currently a Bell customer.”

Yes I believe it will as long as you have a signal for it to amplify!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The roam status is based on your cell phone. This will boost the current signal available in the area (Baraboo in your case) on all carries using 4G/LTE and 3G signals. If your phone can receive a call and/or use data but the signal is poor, it should help amplify the signal. If you get NO service then it won't make a dead zone better. The best analogy I have heard is that these boosters are like a megaphone. If you whisper in the megaphone you can hear the whisper further away. If here is no sound, no sound is emitted by the megaphone. As long as you get a signal now, it should help. There is also a code you can use on most cell phones to determine the signal strength. For example on an iPhone you can dial *3001#12345#* to determine the dcB strength. More negative means poor signal: -75 dcB is a great signal and -115 is basically no signal. Hope that helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for reaching out! As mentioned in the comments, the booster should work as long as you have enough signal to amplify. Typically we say, if you can make and keep calls at the external antenna location, the booster should work.
