I want to improve the 4G signal strength in my house with Three Ireland (800/1800 frequencies). My phone can get 1-2 bars of 4G on an external windowsill and I tether my MacBook to it.

I'm moving house soon so don't want to do a hard install of an antenna to a mast. I also will want to use a signal booster in a camper van.

The devices I've looked at are:

For home and mobile use (I'd have to use my phone SIM in this device)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kuma-Pocket...2993453&amp...

For home use only(no sim required):

There's a significant price difference. Has anyone used either?

Thanks in advance.

That site is fab, no mention of the technical illegality of them.

Technically you are repeating a radio signal which means you should be licenced.

Are you able to use wifi-calling?

You mention Three Ireland

so make sure that whatever repeater you look at complies with the ComReg guidance here :

https://www.comreg.ie/?dlm_download=mobile-phone-r...

you can use certain models - which should have the correct approvals.

( UK is much stricter - anything that supports more than one tech or supplier is pretty much banned under Ofcom rules)


Your are probably better off using Wifi Calling _ not sure Three Ireland ever go round to introducing it ( Vodafone and Eir did .. but only support limited handsets)

Phone up Three .. ask them what the options are!
