Cell Phone Repeaters for Cingular Wireless

Cingular makes use of GSM technology on both the 800 MHz and 1900 MHz bands for their voice and data services. For this reason, it is important to find out which frequency repeater is suited for use with Cingular service in your area.

To find out which frequency is being used by Cingular in your area, visit Wireless Advisor and enter your zip code. If only one frequency is shown for Cingular coverage, then you should choose that frequency repeater to improve Cingular signal in your home or office. If both 800 and 1900 MHz frequencies are showing, then it is somewhat more difficult. In many cases, Cingular have signals in both frequency bands available - therefore purchasing either a 800 or 1900 Mhz repeater should work correctly.

In most rural areas, 800 MHz coverage is stronger and therefore an 800 MHz repeater is preferrable. In California, Nevada, and New York, Cingular usually makes use of the 800 Mhz frequency rather than the 1900 MHz frequency, even if they have licenses for both.

Where available, the Cingular HSDPA/UMTS broadband data service (for both cell phones and broadband data cards) usually makes use of the 1900 MHz frequency.

If you purchase a cell phone repeater for a specific band and find that you are unable to find any signal, you can take advantage of our 14-day money-back guarantee and exchange it for the correct frequency
