Sprint PCS

This category applies to Sprint customers that do not let their phones "roam". A sprint phone is capable of operating in Cellular 800 and PCS 1900 and when in rural or remote areas where Sprint signal is not available, the phone will operate on another carriers Cellular network but only if it is allowed to roam. If you don't let your phone roam or you need increased Sprint signal use BST1901 booster.

Note: The BST1901 booster will increase Sprint home network signal as far as is possible, but it will not provide signal where there is no Sprint network. If you need signal in remote areas and do let your phone "roam", choose the BST800 booster, the Cellular 800 mhz networks of Sprint's roaming partners are more widespread in rural areas than Sprint's own network.
