Good review Michael. Ive had my CelFi fot a bit longer than you, and i agree with your pros and cons. On the 3G to 4G flip, just bare in mind that the booster only boosts when needed, not all the time. So if the town 4G signal is strong, the CelFi wont do any boosting until it's required to. This is to stop boosters "stealing" bandwidth from people without one, and how this particular booster has carrier approval, unlike a lot of dodgy ebay ones.

The problem with these amplifiers are quality. Notice the warranty periods. One year. Maybe two years max. I've had two and both went bad a few months after the warranty. No fault of my own. In a temperature controlled room with no vibration and clean stable power. Two different manufacturers yet both would only give me a few percent off on buying a new one. They both looked solid with heavy heat sinks and lots of metal. You'd think they'd be just as stable as a stereo or any other piece of electronics we normally buy. They are not though, and that is why the warranty periods on them are limited to a year or two and not something respectable like 10 years.

You can look this up on line. Also, because of Cell Tower contracts, you might find a different carrier works in your location while everyones answer to everything "Telstra" doesn't Seen this heaps!

Great review but personally I think this solves a problem that doesn't exist. It's only a booster, you still need to be in close distance to cellular coverage for it to work. What's the point of forking out $1k+ for the sake of avoiding driving 20 minutes or less down the road to get signal? Where cell signal doesn't exist, where you'd need to rely on it the most, it's useless.

For those on the fringe, these do work fine. Having just one bar of signal is painful if you are trying to do stuff on the net. After boosting to 4 bars or so, no more lagging or spinning icons.

The 7 seconds was the battery monitor app which is great, the Celfi Go app takes over 30 seconds, which is not so great 🙂

Sat phone is cheaper.....we use ours when we have no mobile coverage
@SeekAdventure5 жыл бұрын
Not really, my sat phone cost me almost as much as the Cel-Fi and it has ongoing costs aswell. I like having the satphone for emergencies, but the Celfi is great when you have thousands of km of driving to do, eventually you do run out of things to talk about, so streaming a comedy show or something always makes things more lively 🙂 Plus you usually run out of music, so it means you can explore some new music too 👍🏻. You can't really compare the two because they are both good at different things 👌

Norco Shore a sat phone is next to useless for data isn’t it? ... and most mobile users these days prefer data to voice.
