AT&T Cell Booster Positive Reviews
Fast set upNote the QR on the box is different than the one on the booster ( that one is the boosters serial number info ) . I was avoiding setting this up. I downloaded this app and it was annoying to log in . I decided to update my password ( I used the same password ) that worked . Once I logged in the instructions were there and took me step by step through the process of set up. Plenty of time and pics . No disrupted signal . I don’t know how else I will use this app yet but so far my device is verified set up and in the process of being registered..SwmnupsrtmVersion: 1.21750.2
Fine but needs FaceID supportThe Cell Booster was a snap to set up. Yes, I had a problem at first too, but it was because my router needed to have some settings changed to permit the cell booster to get through to the internet. The tech support page on at&t’s website about firewall and router is actually very helpful and tells you precisely what to do. Plus I have gone from 1 bar to full service. Anyway the app is fine insofar as it goes. My biggest complaint about it is that it does not support FaceID and there’s a bug with passwords stored on the iPhone keychain. Seems like a simple fix..Puma PunkuVersion: 1.21750.4
Results very good - it took patienceI went from 1-bar to 4-bars, ground floor condo in Naples FL. Cell signal & WiFi assist had given very poor results. You must have a) GPS signal that pinpoints your location b) port on your router c) ATT login account & patience. The GPS antenna stuck on the window is necessary for setup - and then can be stored. The GPS identified that the device location matched my account location; and then an hour later everything was working very well. The back office work was done with no input from me. I am super happy with it and very pleased that I went to the effort..JerryTheBARIVersion: 1.23136.1(1)
No instructions but online support was wonderfulAs many reviews have stated there are NO instructions included in the package and the cell booster application is absolutely worthless in even indicating whether the device is working properly. But verbal support (by dialing 611) and remote screen sharing is wonderful. What a wonderful and pleasant surprise. Eva spent a half an hour walking me through the setup and she managed to get the booster working.Patient 9999Version: 1.21750.4
Not sure why all the bad reviews.I scanned the QR on the card. Followed the steps for signing in, hooked it up in under 5 minutes. ATT did their part and activated it in about 10 minutes. I live high in the mountains and I went from 1 bar to 4. FaceTime now works and I have about 100 ft range from the house..RippleroadVersion: 1.21750.4
FeedbackHave to login every time I open the app and using iCloud Keychain to fill in the username/password does not work correctly as it thinks I typed nothing into the password field (have to put a character in it then delete it to get it to work). Fix this please. Everything else seems to work fine..HawkEye1194Version: 1.21750.4

Don’t believe all the negative reviewsI’m not sure what has triggered so many negative reviews. There are a few things I do agree with but nothing that would make me give a one star rating. Let me explain. First off I do agree that the app has way too many AT&T ads for extra services that you probably don’t want. You open up this app and you go to a couple of pages and it’s sometimes hard to find the parts that you really need. But if you’re diligent and you know what you’re looking for, you’ll be fine. I was able to get my AT&T Cell Booster up and running within 2 hrs with only a three little hitches. First hitch, the documentation is not 100% clear about things like where to place the Cell Booster unit. As it turns out it really needs to be as high up as possible - say 7 to 8 feet mounted on a wall, maybe not a closet. Second hitch, is the GPS module. It really needs to be stuck on a window. Won’t work unless it can talk to a little sky (and you NEED GPS so that 911 services knows where you are). In retrospect, I should have figured that out - but, hey, at least I didn’t freak out when I didn’t find documentation! Lol. Third and final hitch, the documentation in the app says that the registration process takes only a few minutes. It can take up to a few hours for AT&T to detect your Cell Booster and register it. Boom, that’s it. By the way… if you have difficulty reading the instructions from the app, Google “AT&T Cell Booster installation instructions” - easy peasy. Good luck!.HeavypenVersion: 1.21750.4
Not the experience, others apparently have hadFirst of all, I need to say that I purchased this for use around my home which at best I would get one bar. Most of the time I had no bars. This was my last ditch effort to get a decent cell phone signal in the house, and hopefully do better than Wi-Fi calling.
My biggest challenge with Wi-Fi calling is that it would flip-flop between cell and Wi-Fi and drop my call mid conversation. We tried multiple carriers, like T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T, and all have the same result.
Installation was a snap. I downloaded the app. I then scan the QR code on the front of the device and follow the directions. Once I connected to the Internet and had the GPS connected to the window, I was able to get a decent GPS signal and the device registered and was connected. A few minutes later, AT&T sent me a notification that the booster was registered and online and from that point forward I’ve had 4 full bars of connectivity.
So my experience is definitely different than most. Others reported here, so obviously something is very different in the conditions of their environment versus mine. Bottom line this was a pretty decent experience and very pleased with the wireless signal. I made a few calls, and they sounded crystal clear.
I’m a happy guy..J.NaeveVersion: 1.21750.4
It really is that easyAfter reading the other reviews here I prepared myself for the long haul. Grabbed some popcorn, set the microwave to pop but then boom … cell set up was complete before popcorn was popped. Simply READ THE DIRECTIONS. There is a QR code for the app and then a second and separate QR code on the cell itself. Log into the app, register yourself, scan into the QR code on the cell which will then activate the cell. And then you wait, let technology do the rest. No time wasted making calls with tech support if you read the very simple and short directions. Tech support can’t help you if you can’t help yourself 🤷🏻♀️.ElizahemVersion: 1.21750.2
Don’t listen to naysayersThe hardest part of setup was remembering my username & password. It was very simple following the app from the QR code on the booster itself after that. TBD how it actually works once it quits blinking..Knobby10Version: 1.21750.2
Works Just FineGot the Booster. Scanned code, downloaded app, registered, plugged it in, got it activated and went from 1 bar to 5. Total time from unpacking to in use, 20 minutes. I can’t see any problems with the app or the instructions or the device..EathielVersion: 1.21750.2
Be patientI simply followed the instructions from the QR code and been patient. The setup was smooth but it took about 15-20 minutes after activation to work. You’ll receive an email once activated AND when your device is working. Suggestion… follow the instructions and be patient..A Pham AffairVersion: 1.21750.2
Acceptable AppHaving read all the negative reviews, I was apprehensive to set up this booster to replace my old 3G setup.
I just followed the instructions after scanning the QR code on the device, NOT the one on the box. Just follow the instructions on the app in the order noted.
My only glitch was which data port to use for the internet connection. First used LAN as instructed, but this failed to set up. Switched to WAN port, removed/replaced power cord, and voila. Works fine. App is only useful to check status after installation..Heaven in Black MountainVersion: 1.21750.2

AT&T Cell Booster Negative Reviews
WonkySet up was straightforward, but it wouldn’t connect to my phone. Before I called tech center, I did all the usual reboot this and that stuff, to no avail. Talked to tech support. About the only thing I could understand was the 2000 times the “service professional” said “We’re sorry”. They finally told me I had to contact my ISP, because there may be restrictions on my Wi-Fi router. Seems legit, except I have my own router, and there ain’t no restrictions. So I rebooted everything again, and voilà! 4 bars of 4G LTE instead of 1 bar of 5G! Great! Then I left the house for a few hours, and, whah-whah-whah, won’t connect again. My old 3G AT&T Microcell worked flawlessly for a decade, and the app was easy. Walk in the house, it automatically connected. This one, not so much. Every time I open the app, it makes mean completely log in, and the CellBoost Status page just says I have all white lights. I’m going 2-stars instead of 1, because I have this little guy in the back of my brain telling me I did something wrong. Will update if that proves to be the case..Obombs46Version: 1.23136.1(1)
Terrible App and a Terrible DeviceI was very impressed when AT&T first contacted me and offered me a new signal booster to replace a 3G cell signal booster I had purchased years earlier. However, when I opened the new booster’s box to install it there were NO instructions of any kind. I finally found this Cell Booster App and was able to walk through Registering the booster device and “turn it on”. But now, after 24 hours of supposedly working, the booster device’s Power indicator light is blinking (no idea what that means, but it’s probably not good), the Internet indicator light is lit, but none of the other indicator lights (Status, GPS, 4G Lite) are lit. Most importantly, my phone does not suggest the cell booster is doing anything. I’m still connected via WiFi which is how it was connected before the cell booster. And now, after only 24 hours, this worthless AP tells me I haven’t used the App in awhile so it redirected me to the AT&T website where they want to sell me other products or services. And I can’t get back to the Cell Booster App. Bottom line, this is undoubtedly the worst App I ever had on my phone (I’ve already deleted it) and will disconnect the cell booster device later today. Both are worthless..Doug12170Version: 1.21750.4
BadWill not even show any status indicators for my device anymore …. Device status just continues to say not available. My 4 g won’t connect with even rebooting uggg.JustpostzVersion: 1.23136.1(1)
Too little infoThe problem with the app and cell booster is that it provides almost zero information on the setup process. It does not tell you that you will receive an email to confirm you are registered. It does not tell you that it will take another hour or so for the booster to be activated and that you will receive a text to tell you that. Of course if you need a booster and AT&T communicate by text that’s kinda stupid. If you can receive that text, you don’t need the booster. Not clear if you must plug in the gps arial. Just unplugged mine now that I have got the system operating as I do not want an arial chord dragging across the living room towards the closest system. Still seems to be functional. Yes I did talk to AT&T tech service. They were semi helpful and barely spoke English. Lots of indicator lights on the booster but nowhere does it tell you what is a “good” light and what is a problem and what action to take. Disappointed in AT&T..FrederickalbertiiiVersion: 1.21750.2
Total waste of timeSimilar to one of the other posts, I was able to see complete information about status while in the registration process, once registered I see nothing but my address. Wasted 45 minutes with “technical support“ who had no idea what the app was doing, took over my iPhone screen to see what was going on and still totally clueless, suggested I delete and reinstall the app which I did and nothing happened, still see nothing more than the address I entered. This app well it says is recommended for ages 4+, I think that is really the qualifications of the app developers that created this app you’re a bunch of four-year-olds I can’t write a decent app. Because I have crappy AT&T area coverage, I have to use the cell phone booster or Wi-Fi calling. Shame on you, AT&T.CellTex999Version: 1.21750.2
WorthlessWe live in the Sticks, no WFI, one bar of cell service. We get our WIFI via a hot spot. ATT sent me an email offering me a free CELL BOOSTER. I think, Great! It’s about time they do something to improve service out here. It comes, no instructions. You have to download an app. Then enter all you location and contact information and register the device before you even get started. Then it’s just a couple simple steps to set it up, basically just plugging in the antenna, power, and the eathernet cable. What eathernet cable?! I’ve been an ATT customer for almost 30 years, I get their bills, I know they know where we live. Yould THINK they would know there is barely any cell service here and for darn sure no eathernet plug! Waste of my time and their money..Dripping readerVersion: 1.21750.4
Responsiveness and Clarity seriously lackingI concur with many of the other 1 star reviews. Instructions and directions is seriously lacking. Instructions they provide online requires updates. When you call the help desk number you get a person who’s English is a second language and not clear when they speak. Lot’s of long pauses and confusion in their voice, which causes me to question if they understood what I said. Finally, set up will not happen in five minutes, when you call they say it count take 1 to 4 hours! On hour two with flashing lights - am I wasting my time? Unfortunately I think so! For me right now, the product / device, this App and responsiveness of help desk are worthless!.BIG ED 1956Version: 1.21750.2
Doesn’t allow me to deactivate my device.I accidentally deactivated my cell booster. Now when I sign back in it doesn’t show me as the administrator of this device. There’s no way to reset it or fix it. I have deleted and reinstalled it several times and every time I sign in it doesn’t show the Cell Booster or give me an option to deactivate it. I don’t know what the fix could be was on the phone with AT&T for five hours and got nowhere. I can still add locations. But the old location when I go to delete it just says hmmLooks like there’s a problem. It’s been more than 24 hours and I still get the same error message but it says keep on trying. I don’t know what to do...👎👎💩💩💩👾Version: 1.21750.2
Poor Tech support for new Nokia Femtocell SOHOSeveral hrs spent trying to resolve issue with new Nokia cell booster. It was mailed to us to replace the MicroCell booster. Finally got to technician Nancy who said she updated the server for our SN of the cell booster. Adam a supervisor called to confirm that I had spoken with Nancy and the issue would be resolved in 2-3 hrs. He said he would call back at that time to confirm the issue was resolved. Still waiting for his call. Today I am spending more time trying to get to the right person that has the answers. Another problem is I need the old booster to make a call but I am unable to troubleshoot the new booster unless it is plugged up. I am in a catch 22..12Ky42025Version: 1.21750.2
Deserves every 1-star reviewI ordered the AT&T cell booster despite all the poor reviews because I work from home and can’t live without cell service. In theory this app should make setting up the device easy; in practice I couldn’t ever even get my device registered despite multiple attempts and a solid background in consumer tech. The AT&T support rep said things like, “there are a lot of gray areas with setup,” and also said the tech support team has passed along customer frustration with this app. So here’s an idea, AT&T: If it’s so bad that even your own people know it’s bad, just fix it. It’s crap..ScreenwriteVersion: 1.23136.1(1)
Horrible app, can’t loginThis whole thing is horribly executed, and there are no instructions. Downloaded the app and I can’t login. Changed password and still can’t log into the app. It also keeps looping back to the myatt website to try to entice me to upgrade my phone. What good is the cell booster device if I can’t get into the app to register it. I am a technology professional and this is a very poor rollout to consumers. I would be embarrassed if my team rolled this out. However, this would not have happened under my watch. What happened to user acceptance testing? Horrible, just horrible..DesiD11Version: 1.21750.2
Zero info on registrationThis isn’t really an app but more a link to your web browser. You login to your account and it takes you to your account overview page. Were you then have to try to search for the instructions to register your Microsoft booster. This takes you in endless loop of information that really does not help. No instructions included with the device and zero support on their webpage for this device. It’s almost like they don’t want you to use it. This isn’t really an app and it’s quite useless. Just shows you how lazy AT&T really is..MissileChicagoVersion: 1.21750.2
Another AT&T FailAfter being transferred 12 times in order to get to the right department I “think” I finally got my questioned answered. I say that because the rep, who was very polite, but I could barely understand told me that all of the various wires must be connected for the device to operate. My router is in an interior room and there is no way I can run enough Ethernet wire to the booster and the GPS wire to an exterior window in order to make this thing operational. Another hour and a half of my life I will never get back..My8999Version: 1.21750.4
No cell booster info.While registering the new cell booster the app showed useful data. Number of lights on, blinking lights, connected , etc. Once it was registered the app dropped all the useful info. Now It only shows my address. That’s it. No useful info on the booster. It’s working- I can see the increased signal strength. But the app is useless. I even deleted and readded it. Nope. No data..Highpox1Version: 1.21750.2

However the app does not recognize the ID and password of an existing AT&T user.

Absolutely The WorstI’ve been trying for two days to get anything other than the registration error text and email. I’ve called AT&T and well…that was 45 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
Despite following the instructions and scanning the correct QR code (on the booster - not the box) I have a worthless piece of plastic.
AT&T support was anything but support. Could not understand me and I couldn’t understand her. She kept telling me it’s takes an hour. Had me delete the app on my phone and reinstall it.
