    Nextivity Cel-Fi RS2 Cell Phone Signal Booster for T-Mobile Only

    • I will say, this set up is just as easy as the original, but it pulls in a stronger signal.
    • Today the device arrived and at the beginning i put it near to a window since my phone indicated that i had the strongest signal over
    • You plug in the bigger box, the receiver, wherever your signal is strongest, and plug in the smaller box, the booster, wherever your signal is the weakest, and you wait
    • The best I could get is a 7-8 signal, which is good
    • Worked well at the start, boosting signal by about 2 bars around a house with mostly no signal
    • Does not pick up ANY signal where my phone gets fair to weak signal
    • The main issue is that if I get an incoming call when the signal is weak, I might not be able to get an improved signal even if I move around
    • I had read on-line that T-Mobile was switching its carrier wave, and that the RS2 model would boost the new signal, whereas the RS1 model had boosted only the former signal.
    • The main issue is that if I get an incoming call when the signal is weak, I might not be able to get an improved signal even if I move around
    • It did nothing to boost my T Mobile signal even when I positioned and repositioned both units all through my house
    • The old one showed 7 or 8 routinely, but it barely made good signal past the bedroom it was in
    • Did not improve my signal much.
    • I highly recommend this product if you are having difficulty receiving a T-Mobile signal in your home
    • You plug in the bigger box, the receiver, wherever your signal is strongest, and plug in the smaller box, the booster, wherever your signal is the weakest, and you wait
    • This on the one hand simplifies things, as it works also without home internet; but on the other hand, it entails two fundamental limitations: 1) You have to have a window location where you have just enough external signal for its receiver antennas to pick it up (this receiver is much more sensitive and powerful than a regular cell phone, probably part of the reason of the unit's substantial size) 2
