They currently have stock in LTE signal boosters. As long as you live in an area that has at last 1 to 2 bars of 3G/4G or LTE, they will send it to you and reception at home shouldn't be a problem anymore.

I'm not sure if they also do it for prepaid customers, but I got one as a 50$/month simple choice customer

One thing that's important to me is the ability to use my phone as a hotspot; even at home. Two summers ago we lost power at the house for 1 week and I was able to use my phone for the entire time. I don't want to have to rely on a booster to use my phone at home. Plus, the signal at work is sub par too. I might try again when they have 700 mhz support. Wifi calling would mean I would have to upgrade all my other phones to support wifi calling.
