Customer Feedback
“first time ever, my phone now can run 5G at camp”
The booster has a 4.2 star rating on Amazon. Most customers are quite happy with the purchase. Amplification takes the signal from 0-1 bar to 3-4 bars.
One customer did report an oscillation issue with the product. In general this issue can be resolved by isolating the two antennas. In this case the customer was able to solve the problem by placing sheets of aluminum between the antenna and the booster, both near the antenna and near the booster to block the signal between the two.
Overall a solid product with a high level of customer satisfaction.

5G Boosters – which products to avoid
There are a few boosters that claim compatibility with 5G.
This is the case when a 5G network operates on the stated bands: 13/12/17/5/4/2/25.
Most 5G networks in Canada include band 66
In that case, this booster and others that exclude band 66 will not work.
What does Frequency Band mean?
A cell phone band refers to a specific range of radio frequencies assigned for mobile phone use by telecommunications networks. These bands are used to transmit and receive voice and data between cell phones and cell towers, facilitating wireless communication.
Here are the 5G bands used by different Canadian carriers. For your phone to work with Bell (for example) it has to support the band used by Bell for 5G. If it does not support the band it will be forced to work on the 4G network.
Similarly, the cell signal booster has to work with that band. In Canada 5G bands are: 2, 5, 66, 71, 78.
