The box is called a "Microcell" and is not actually a booster. It creates a separate cellphone zone within your house and routes the calls through the internet via your broadband router, which the box needs to be plugged into. The signals from the cell towers are ignored. I have one and they work well as the ATT cell strength is not good on the southside of The Villages. In my case, they checked my address and said I qualified for the box for no charge.

I convinced them they were not filling the contractual agreement of providing g a usable service .
They charged my account / then removed it on the next months bill . $99
That was the way they had to show it on their computer
