I’m looking for a multi line cell phone booster for AT&T and Verizon services. Anyone have some recommendations for which one is better? Thank you in advance.

Put in a wifi access point and turn on Wifi Calling on the cell phones.

Create an SSID for phones they can join without a login but has no access to the rest of your network.

Boosters/amplifiers are a dying breed and an additional technology to have to support.

Where would one find WiFi Calling? I'm on a LG V30 on Android 9, is this feature available on older phones?

I’m not sure that’s going to work out in this office. We have company WiFi now but it is tightly controlled by corporate office IT (huge company)

There’s only five of us in this office and a booster is pretty much all we need here.

Lg V30 Wifi Calling

For those who think it's easier to annoy you than to Google 'Lg v30 wifi calling' themselves.

Guess I'm a tard. My menu doesn't have a Call Settings or Wi-Fi Calling option. I can open Network settings and connect to my router or a public router or go through Verizon, but maybe my plan doesn't allow it.

    • To use Wi-Fi Calling, ensure Wi-Fi is turned on and connected.
    • Open the
      Phone app

      .
    • Tap the
      Menu icon
      Phone icon
      .
    • Navigate:
      Call settings
      Wi-Fi Calling
      .
    • Tap the
      Wi-Fi Calling switch
      (upper-right) to turn on
      on_switch_icon-70.jpg
      or off
      off_switch_icon-56.jpg
      .
      If prompted, review and accept the Terms & Conditions, tap CONTINUE, enter a valid E911 address then tap
      SAVE
      .
 
Years ago AT&T gave us (as in $free) a booster that we plugged into our home internet. This was before phones supported wifi call/text. Worked well, and anybody that came over with AT&T immediately took advantage and had good service. Didn't work with my Verizon cell.

Not sure if your IT would choke on that, or if AT&T still offers that; but might be an option.

We had one for Verizon, because the coverage was so bad where we were, but had a Cox HS connection so it did it's job. I'm on a WISP and can rarely get over 50m on the down and 20 for the up, and usually 2 to three bars on the cell.
 
Weboost. Buy once, cry once. We've been running one out at the deer lease for several years, no issues.

Weboost isn't really a buy once cry once level. JMA TEKO falls into that category

Sure, but opposing some chink bullshit on Amazon that sells for $29.99 it does.

I guess it depends on the level of pain it takes to make someone cry.
