I was at my local T-Mobile dealer and telling him that at my grandson's I couldn't get cell service. He said that we could purchase a devise to create our own WiFi, is he talking about a HotSpot like MIFI and don't you need a cell phone tower to use that? (Sorry, he was young and I am old and we didn't speak the same language so I didn't really understand what he was talking about. But it seems to me if I couldn't get cell service, I couldn't get Wifi either, am I wrong?
Please Clarify
if there is NO tmobile cell service at your grandsons, there is nothing that can get you cell service
IF there is a poor signal, then a cellular amplifier with external antenna will boost the signal
However
most cellphone carriers now have a device
that attaches to a "hardline" internet service like cable or DSL
and functions as a mini cell tower ( inside home )
so your cellphone makes phone calls (the device connects to the carriers network via the internet)
i'm not sure what your asking or what you want
