will this and other booster kits work for trac-phones?? not sure but what carriers do trac-phones get their signals from?

I don't know about "trac-phone" but my dad has a straight talk phone. It actually works for him and he gets full bars under the inside antenna. But his phone is on a GSM network so check to see if your phone uses a sim card first.

This device works for me with T-mobile in the US, however MMS messages are a bit funky. I'm unsure if this is a phone limitation, or T-Mobile. Everything else works great.

I'm not sure if I understand your question but I'll take a stab at it ..........My guess is you will need the directional yagi antenna in order to send and receive enough signal for the booster to work. Be sure the yagi antenna is tuned to the same frequencies as your booster or there will be a miss match. Hope this was the answer you were looking for.

There are differences between carriers. our best bet is to contact Wilson Electronics directly and ask which of the cradle type booster works best with your carriers. Call their tech support at 1-866-294-1660 or visit their site for an email address. I use one of their boosters with my AT&T; service and it performs great. I have recommended the -V version to neighbors using Verizon as their carrier and they have had excellent results.

This would work on 3G in USA, not 4G. They would boost both voice and signal

I had it hooked up at work and worked great for all employees with different android phones. One of them being iphone (not sure what model). Anyway the antenna is directional so you really need to point it as straight as you can. Good luck By the way the booster worked the opposite for my bosses non-android phone. He had four bars signal and when I turn on the unit it went to no signal at all on his cell phone.

It works with any brand of phone / carrier as long at there is a signal. If you do not have a signal it will not give you one. I have used it with a 4 year old "dumb phone" to boost text in and out. My wife used it for data in and out on 3G last year from a campground that barely had a signal on SPRINT. Then 4G when she went with VERIZON and fast. A friend of ours was using it with VERIZON 2 years ago at the same campground. Used his old 3G phone as a wireless hotspot to connect to a computer. Do some research to make sure the connectors are right on the cradle / antenna / phone. There are different ones. Do your homework before you buy relative to the cables.

I have the 4G version booster and Verizon service. It works great. I was getting next to no signal before I installed this booster. Now I have 4G almost all the time. The booster I purchased is for the internet signal only - it does not help the phone signal. I didn't realize until I was doing research for this purchase that the phone signal and internet signal on a cell phone are 2 different signals and some of the boosters are for internet, some are for phone, and some are for both. The customer service people at Wilson were very helpful in helping me decide what I needed. I would talk to them. I have the 4G version booster and Verizon service. It works great.

The owners manual says that the automobile version requires that the phone be within 1-2 feet of the internal Antenna. For a large motor home you may want to consider buying the "home" version of the booster. Wilson's tech support is great. I always call them before I make a decision on which unit to buy. They have really been a great help in determining which model will best fit your needs.

According to the advertising this will work with the T-Mobile 4g LTE. We have AT&T and this Wilson product is one of the few that will work with the 4G phones. I can tell you that it works great for us. We live in a remote area of NE Washington state and she had one bar but with this product now has 5. I am very happy with this... we bought the extra kit for home and she uses it all the time with no problem. I think you would be very happy with this. Hope this helps

It will work on your phone and it will boost everything EXCEPT 4g data. The 4G version of this is due out very soon and it will be called Mobile 4G (Model 460108). If you are in weak signal areas most of the time it will be only 3g anyhow, that being said I personally am going to wait to get the newer unit because I feel that when I can get 4G I rather have that boosted than have to rely on 3g as my only means of getting data. Use this information on which unit you plan on buying. If you are using this to boost phone calls 99.99% of the time then this unit will be fine. I plan on downloading data (my primary reason for getting this is weather downloads on the road) so it makes more sense for me to wait for the newer model. $399 Retail, now for sale for $349 preorder from Wilson (3-5 weeks delivery) http://www.wilsonamplifiers.com/wilson-mobile-4g-50-db-amplifier-kit-460108/

I'm a former Metro PCS customer who was happy with their service. Switched to Boost Mobile for a non-service related reason. Both services seem to be equivalent. I use this device for Boost and it does work! Where there were no reception bars, there are now 2-3 out of 5, and sometimes more.

am not sure because I use it with a T-Mobile sim card and I think in order to get signal you are going to have to have a sim card in the phone, but again am not sure if its possible. All I know is that you can use a T-Mobile sim card and a at&t; sim card. Try to contact your phone carrier to find out if you can. I hope I helped you out.

The Wilson boosters are compatible with all major carriers regardless of whether you register it with your carrier or not. If you change carriers in the future you can still use the device with your new carrier. Hopefully this answers your question. Thank you.

it does work pretty good. add a booster will be perfect.and will work a lot better for phone use.

*BE CAREFUL* the link took me to a model that lists 3G data. If true, this model is OLDER *DATA* protocol, not the newer/faster 4G nor 4G LTE, even though it lists CDMA, TDMA, GSM and AMPS. There are newer, just released 4G Wilson electronic models just announced about June, 2014. Go to the OEM website first and look for 3g v 4g (lte). You need to check each device's *DATA* frequency MHz AND transmission mode/protocol (3g, 4g, 4gLTE, CDMA, GSM etc.). Carriers have different frequencies / protocols their systems are designed to support. If all your phones use the same *DATA* frequency, there is a higher likelihood of compliance. As for 'simultaneously' I cannot answer that because some electronics are designed with 2-way simultaneous support (send & receive) whereas others will only do one mode at a time - per device. That is why some of the newer wireless access points are touting 2-way support, they can send/receive simultaneously so more than one device can be served concurrently. Contact Wilson Electronics (OEM MANUFACTURER TECH SUPPORT, not the WILSON retail reseller customer service) for absolute answers. Be aware many of the older Wilson Electronics cellular amplifiers (such as 3g) only boosted *DATA*, NOT *VOICE*. Check the model that is most compliant for your 3 phones as some of the *newer* 4G models are supposed to boost for voice & data. Also, Verizon phones in US I have only been able to get to function within this country using their 4G LTE mode, NOT GSM (which is what AT&T, others might use) even if the phone is dual or tri-band. Unfortunately if you notice there sometimes different product booster model #'s in the past for AT&T vs Verizon because of the above so if your phones are using inconsistent transmission technologies, one mobile booster device may support most but not all of your phones

Yes, however I've noticed different devices and service plans respond differently to the booster. Some work great (full service) and others just an extra bar or two.
