Is your Samsung smartphone dropping calls and taking forever to load? You’re not alone. Many Samsung users experience poor cell signal at home, in the office, and on the road.

There is no better way to do so than with a Samsung signal booster . Keep reading to learn more.
Why Your Samsung Has Poor Cell Signal
Bad Samsung signal isn’t always your carrier's fault. There are multiple things that disrupt cellular signals outside of your carrier’s control. The most common cell signal disrupters are:
- Heavy Network Traffic – Multiple devices connecting to a cell site at the same time can slow down or overload the network.
- Distance from Cell Towers – The further away your Samsung is from your nearest cell tower, the weaker the signal it receives.
- Building Material – Samsung reception often suffers indoors due to the metal, concrete, low-e glass, and other materials that make up your home or business building.
- Topography – Thick foliage, hills, mountains, valleys, and the like can block or degrade the signal reaching your Samsung.
- Weather Conditions – Rain, fog, snow, and humidity interfere with radio waves, resulting in weaker Samsung signal.
How You Can Boost Your Samsung Signal
Improving your Samsung's reception can sometimes be as easy as troubleshooting. You can try:
- Toggle Airplane Mode
- Restarting your Samsung
- WiFi calling
- Updating your operating system
- Removing your Samsung case
- Switching to 4G only
For more tips and tricks, here is our complete list of ways to boost cell signal. Other times, however, it’s not so simple or free. In those cases, the best way to boost your Samsung signal is with a cell phone signal booster or network extender.
Samsung Cell Phone Signal Boosters
Samsung signal boosters, also known as repeaters, amplifiers, or extenders (not to be confused with network extenders), are the #1 recommended way to improve cell reception across any Samsung using any carrier. That includes the Samsung Galaxy S series, Galaxy Z Fold series, Galaxy Z Flip series, Galaxy A series, and all other Samsung phones released after 2012.
Cell phone boosters capture existing 5G/4G/LTE signals, amplify them, and rebroadcast them inside your home, office, or vehicle. They’re able to communicate with distant cell towers, bypass signal-blocking material, and fine-tune received signals. This is done using an outdoor antenna, an amplifier, an indoor antenna, and coaxial cable.
All Samsung signal boosters need is a power source and existing signal to work. No monthly fees or WiFi is needed. Within minutes you can flip your home, office, or vehicle from a dead zone to a reliable multi-carrier networking hub.
Here is a short video showing the results of a Samsung signal booster in a rural area with weak outdoor signal:
Our customer's signal strength significantly improved from -119 dBm to -75 dBm. Typically, cell phone signal strength ranges from -50 dBm (perfect signal) to -120 dBm (no signal). The closer you are to -50 dBm, the more reliable your connection. With a signal booster, our customer is now receiving almost perfect signal. You could too!

Samsung Network Extenders aka Femtocells
A femtocell, also known as a network extender, is a small base station that broadcasts cell signal using broadband internet. It’s like having a mini cell tower inside your home or office. Existing cellular signal isn’t needed for a femtocell to work. All you need is access to broadband internet with minimum speeds of 10 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload.
Some carriers sell branded femtocells, while others, like T-Mobile, have discontinued their version. AT&T sells the Cell Booster and Verizon the LTE Network Extender.
Both AT&T Cell Booster and Verizon LTE Network Extender are carrier specific, though. They will not provide better talk, text, and data for Samsung's connected to other carriers. In addition, since they need internet to work, users may experience slower speeds. Carriers may charge a one-time fee plus monthly fees for a femtocell.
While femtocells are good options, they are no match for a Samsung signal booster when it comes to consistent coverage and price.

Samsung Signal Boosting FAQs
Do Samsung Signal Booster Apps Work?
Sort of, but not in the way you might think.
Samsung signal boosting apps don’t actually amplify your signal like a Samsung signal booster would. They’re simply performance enhancers. With your permission, they can refresh your connection, free up storage, manage background apps, and more. As a result, your Samsung’s performance may improve.
If you have poor cell reception, a “boosting” app won’t get you more bars.
Will Boosting Stickers Improve Samsung Signal?
Signal boosting stickers claim they’re able to improve your phone's reception. We’ve tested signal boosting stickers and concluded that they don't work as advertised. Read our Cell Phone Signal Booster Sticker Review for the full scoop.
If you still want to give signal boosting stickers a go, you can purchase them via Amazon.
Can the 3370 Secret Code Boost Samsung Signal?
Dialing the secret*3370# or #3370# code on Samsungs supposedly boosts cell phone signal. However, it doesn’t work. It’s actually a number sequence used to activate Enhanced Full Rate Codec, which improved sound quality for specific devices. Visit Does the *3370# Secret Code Boost Cell Phone Reception for more info.
Your best bet at enhanced cellular reception for your Samsung devices is a Samsung signal booster.
Which Samsung Signal Booster Should I Get?
If you struggle with poor WiFi for your iPad, a cellular router can help you get a better connection anywhere you go. When paired with a signal booster, your connectivity experience increases.
The first step is to choose between a Samsung Cell Phone Signal Booster and a Samsung Femtocell (aka Network Extender). Most people go for the Samsung cell phone booster. It provides much more consistent coverage, works with multiple carriers, and costs less in the long run.
The next step is to figure out the type of Samsung booster you need for your specific situation.
- Do you want to boost cell phone reception in your house or vehicle? Maybe both?
