Which booster does cell as well as data
Are boosters trade offs either one or the other when you park In remote spot. Meaning fair signal strength for cell little or no internet signal Seems I can get text service on cell But can't g...

voice and text is almost always, maybe always on a different frequency than data. Therefore, what you experience is not that uncommon. the frequencies are far enough apart that propigation characteristics are different and distance, obstructions etc. have different effects on the signal.
We camp a lot where cell signals are marginal or non existent without a booster. With a booster there are spots where I can get data and voice, data only, or voice/text only.
and there are times where I can get or send a text, but trying to call often results in a dropped call or marginal call.
most new boosters will do voice and data. For a while older boosters didn't suport 4G and/or needed a specific booster for either CDMA carries or GSM carries.
Newer boosters seem to support 3G and 4G for both systems now.
Now, given that, if your in need of a boosted signal, there is a good chance your still in 3G territory, so even if you get data it may be slower at 3G rather than 4G rates.
