Welcome to Mobile Signal Guru’s FAQs section! We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions we receive about mobile signal boosters in Malta. Whether you’re new to signal boosters or looking for specific information, we’re here to help.

1. What is a mobile signal booster?

A mobile signal booster is a device that amplifies weak mobile signals, improving coverage and call quality in areas with poor reception. It works by capturing the signal from a nearby cell tower, boosting it, and then rebroadcasting it inside your home, office, or vehicle.

2. How do mobile signal boosters work in Malta?

In Malta, mobile signal boosters work by receiving signals from local mobile network providers like GO, Melita, and Epic. The outdoor antenna captures the signal, which is then strengthened by the amplifier and broadcasted indoors by the indoor antenna. This helps eliminate issues like dropped calls and slow data speeds.

3. Are mobile signal boosters legal in Malta?

Yes, mobile signal boosters are legal in Malta, provided they comply with local regulations. Always ensure that the signal booster you buy is certified for use in Malta and does not interfere with other mobile networks. Mobile Signal Guru offers devices that are fully compliant with Maltese laws.

4. Will a signal booster work with my mobile network provider?

Yes, most mobile signal boosters work with all major Maltese network providers, including GO, Melita, and Epic. Multi-band boosters support multiple networks, while single-band boosters are designed for specific providers.

5. Do I need a signal booster? How can I tell if I need one?

You might need a mobile signal booster if you experience:

  • Frequent dropped calls.
  • Slow data speeds (e.g., during browsing or streaming).
  • Difficulty getting a signal indoors, especially in basements or buildings with thick walls.
  • Poor signal in remote or rural areas.

If any of these issues sound familiar, a mobile signal booster could be the solution.

6. What types of signal boosters are available?

7. How do I choose the right mobile signal booster?

When choosing a signal booster, consider:

  • Coverage Area: Match the booster’s range with the size of the area you want to cover.
  • Network Compatibility: Ensure the booster supports your mobile network.
  • Signal Strength: If you’re in an area with very weak signals, you’ll need a more powerful booster with higher gain.
  • Installation: Our mobile signal boosters are DIY-friendly, you can install them in less than 30 minutes.

8. Where should I install the outdoor antenna?

The outdoor antenna should be installed where you receive the strongest signal, usually on the roof or an outside wall. It’s essential to point the antenna towards the nearest cell tower for optimal signal capture. You can use your mobile phone’s signal bars or apps to find the strongest location.

9. Can I install the signal booster myself?

Yes, our mobile signal boosters come with easy-to-follow installation instructions, making installation simple for the average user. However, if you have a large or complex space, you may want to hire a professional installer. Mobile Signal Guru offers guidance for proper installation in Malta if needed.

10. Will a signal booster improve my internet speed?

Yes, a mobile signal booster will improve your data speeds by strengthening the signal received from your network provider. Whether you’re using 3G, 4G, or 5G, a better signal leads to faster downloads, smoother streaming, and more reliable browsing.

11. Will a mobile signal booster help with dropped calls?

Absolutely! A mobile signal booster can significantly reduce or eliminate dropped calls by amplifying weak signals. This ensures better call quality and fewer disruptions, especially in areas with poor reception.

12. How much do mobile signal boosters cost in Malta?

The price of a mobile signal booster varies depending on the type and features. Simple home boosters start at around €150, while more advanced commercial or multi-band models can cost €500 or more. At Mobile Signal Guru, we offer a range of boosters to fit different budgets and needs.

13. Can I use a mobile signal booster in my car?

Yes! Vehicle signal boosters are designed specifically for use in cars, trucks, and boats. They boost the mobile signal while you’re on the move, ensuring you stay connected even in remote or low-signal areas.

14. How long does it take to install a signal booster?

Installation usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the system and the size of your property. DIY installations for smaller homes are typically quicker, while larger commercial setups might take longer.

15. Do signal boosters emit harmful radiation?

No, mobile signal boosters are safe to use. They work by amplifying existing mobile signals and do not emit any harmful radiation. All signal boosters sold by Mobile Signal Guru comply with safety standards set by the Maltese authorities.

16. Do I need to have a strong signal outside to use a signal booster?

Yes, for the best results, a signal booster needs to capture an existing mobile signal from outside. If there is no signal at all, a booster will not work. If the signal outside is weak but present, the booster can amplify it effectively.

17. What is the range of a mobile signal booster?

The range of a signal booster depends on the model you choose. Some boosters cover small areas, like a single room or car, while others can cover entire homes or office buildings up to several hundred square meters. Check the booster’s specifications to ensure it matches your coverage needs.

18. Does the weather affect the performance of a signal booster?

Weather conditions such as heavy rain or thick fog can slightly affect signal strength, but a good-quality booster will minimize these effects. Mobile Signal Guru offers boosters designed to perform well in various weather conditions in Malta.

19. Do mobile signal boosters require maintenance?

Mobile signal boosters require little to no maintenance. Once installed, they work automatically. However, it’s a good idea to periodically check the outdoor antenna for any physical damage or obstruction that may affect performance.

20. Can I return a signal booster if it doesn’t work for me?

Yes, Mobile Signal Guru offers a return policy if the signal booster doesn’t meet your expectations. Please contact us for specific return instructions and terms.
