    How Mobile Phone Signal Boosters Work

    You can buy kits online but as is mentioned above they're not legal to use. We had a customer buy one and wanted us to fit it during a complete house rewire. Kit consisted of 2 aerials 1 internal, 1 external and an amplifier box. Plug and play kit really. Should have been simple, aim it in the...
