Signal Booster for Sprint Clients

I feel that once T-mobile took over Sprint, they treated Sprint customers like a bunch of chop livers. They ruined the Sprint towers and spent long time to upgrade them to T-mobile towers. My internet used to be very good with the Magic Box, T-mobile completely ruined it.  Shame on them!

Good luck on the Signal Booster. I am a Tmobile customer and they sent me the CellSpot which is great til I find you need internet which I don't have. I asked about a Signal Booster and was told by Customer Service and Tech Support they don't have those anymore. I live in a strong 4G LTE and surrounded by strong 5G Ultra Capacity service. I get 4 bars on my 5G line and 4 bars on my 4G LTE line. They both run like 3G in mud. They haven't been able to solve my issue. I have solid phone and text, it's just my data I'm not getting. Good luck to you. 

I usually have about 2 bars and LITE data, only that I usually get slow data reception. I used to get 5G in my house, and now only LITE. In order to get 5G, I have to go outside and 5G will come back. T-Mobile/Sprint kept telling me there was a tower issue but that issue has been ongoing for years. I guess T-Mobile is not in any hurry to fix it since it's still a Sprint tower and the T-Mobile tower is further away from me and always have problems as well. However since both of my phones have T-Mobile sim cards, I don't know why they will be affected by the Sprint tower.

I noticed that on Amazon and eBay, they sell T-Mobile cellspot. Has anyone tried them?

because as a former Sprint customer youre able to use both Sprints network still as well as TMOs..as long as they gave you a new SIM card...which should be the R15 or maybe it was the R115..

meaning if the Sprint towers are the main ones you connect to youre going to see issues..especially if the next connecting tower is further out.

Thank you, how do I know if my sim cards are R15 or R115? And what is the difference? Strange enough, after I swapped my sim cards, I got 5G for almost a month, then all of a sudden, it went back to LITE and have been LITE since then.

if you were all of a sudden picking up 5G then where you never did before with Sprint then you are now connecting to TMOs 5G. same with my area..never had 5G before the merger. some Sprint towers they are removing because they over lap a TMO tower to much..or they keep it and convert it over

The problem is I am getting LITE now instead of 5G in the house. T-Mobile has no idea why, kept blaming my phones which I told them my phones are not problems as I was able to get 5G outside the house. Then they blamed the towers but they said there were no tower problems, such a mess.

did they by chance mention how far away the 5G tower is? was the phone brought over from Sprint or did  you purchase new after the merger?

also which phone do you have?

They said it's about 8 miles, the closest one to me is a Sprint tower, 3 miles

Both are Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G. One is from Sprint upgrade, the other one I bought from Samsung directly.

Both have the same symptoms,  inside only LITE but get 5G outside.
